Protect your family, pets, and lawn from dangerous disease carrying tick infestations. Complete year round protection begins at $49 a month following an initial $99 setup.
What's Included
Spud Pest eliminates local ticks by targeting tall grass transition zones, woodpiles, and shaded perimeter foliage around your property. Dense pine timber, river corridors, hiking trails, and abundant wildlife like deer and rodents drive heavy tick activity across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Ticks latch onto passing humans and pets, crawling indoors where they pose severe health risks. Our protection plans create an impenetrable exterior barrier that clears active tick harborage, stops questing behavior, and keeps your yard safe year round.
Every plan covers complete property inspections, targeted perimeter liquid applications, tall grass barrier treatments, and wildlife harborage reduction. You get complete coverage against regional species like Rocky Mountain wood ticks and western dog ticks, backed by full warranty protection and unlimited free re-treatments whenever pests return between regular service visits.
Species
Medium sized brown ticks with distinct grey and white mottling on their backs. Highly active from early spring through summer along brushy trails, pine thickets, and tall grass borders, they are key vectors for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tick paralysis.
Dark brown, oval ticks commonly found in open pastures, river basins, and unmaintained lawn edges across Spokane and Kootenai County. They readily attach to dogs, outdoor livestock, and humans during warm months.
Unique soft bodied ticks that inhabit rustic mountain cabins, timber outbuildings, and rodent burrows across high elevation forest zones, feeding at night on resting hosts.
How it works
Every visit follows a simple, proven process to eliminate active ticks, treat outdoor questing zones, and prevent hitchhikers from entering your home:
Detailed Property and Wildlife Path Inspection
We inspect property fence lines, shaded shrub beds, tall turf margins, and woodpiles for tick activity and host mammal pathways.
Targeted Perimeter and Brush Application
We apply long lasting micro encapsulated liquid barriers along tall grass perimeters, leaf litter zones, and brush borders where ticks climb to wait for hosts.
Yard Margin Life Cycle Disruption
We treat shaded soil and timber edges to neutralize developing larvae and adult ticks before they can attach to family or pets.
Keep Them Away
We return on a regular seasonal schedule through spring, summer, and fall to replenish protective barriers before tick activity surges, maintaining continuous protection year round.
We’ll text you when your technician is on the way, so you always know we’re coming.

Good to know
Complete year round protection begins at $49 a month following an initial $99 setup. Every visit includes a thorough property perimeter inspection, tall grass barrier applications, brush zone treatments, and entry threshold protection. You get complete coverage, total warranty protection, and free re-treatments between regular visits.
Tick activity begins as early as March as snowpack melts and peaks through June and July. A secondary surge often occurs in late summer and early autumn before the first hard freezes drive ticks into winter dormancy.
Questing is the behavior where ticks crawl up tall grass blades or low shrubs, holding out their front legs to grab onto passing animals or people. Our perimeter treatments coat these exact elevated resting surfaces with repelling barriers, eliminating ticks on contact before they can latch onto a host.
While most outdoor ticks dry out and die inside climate controlled homes without a host, they can survive in dark carpets or pet bedding long enough to bite. Eliminating outdoor populations on your lawn prevents pets from dragging live ticks across your door thresholds.
Yes, our products are applied specifically along property perimeters, brush lines, and shaded yard borders away from open high traffic lawn areas. Once the liquid barrier applications dry completely (typically within 30 to 60 minutes), children and pets can safely return to playing in the yard.
