What is the best way to keep ticks out of my yard?
By Jimmy Kane 23 Feb, 2021
The short answer is yes! However, I like to dig a bit deeper to explain why for people, so they don't think I'm shoving off the question to an easy, quick answer. What I describe usually leaves people surprised. When considering safety of any product, you have to consider a couple things. First thing you should look at is the emboldened signal word on the label. You've all seen it. "Caution" "Warning" and "Danger" This single word is used to quickly describe how acutely toxic the contained substance is. If you rummage through your kitchen or bathroom cabinet, you'll likely see all three of these. One thing that I get the biggest kick out of, is that one of the most common household cleaners, Bleach , carries the strongest word, DANGER with the skull and crossbones. People use bleach with bare hands every day. The second safety concern is the mode of application. Is it an aerosol spray? Is it a liquid? A solid or gel bait? All of these have their own safety considerations and instructions to be followed. For instance, they don't make bleach as an aerosol, or people would be harming their families every day. At Kane Exterminating, when it comes to our products, our strongest ones boast the signal word CAUTION . We will never make an application with anything even remotely as poisonous as that bottle of bleach under your sink. All our technicians are all certified by NYS with 30 hours of core training on safety and label laws. Learning how to read and comprehend a label, and how to apply it safely. Heres one that also boggles my mind. Our strongest liquid product, Termidor NY, shares the same active ingredient and dilution as frontline flea and tick prevention that you apply directly to your animal. Termidor NY: 9.1% Fipronil, Frontline Plus: 9.8% Fipronil. Check it out for yourself, it's crazy to say the least. ALWAYS READ YOUR LABELS! Since I probably lost you in all that jargon, I'll circle back. Yes, our products are meant to kill organisms, but they get a bad rap. With every spray and bait we use, one would have to ingest significantly more than we would ever apply in your home to have any affect on oneself, ones pet, or otherwise. For those still wary of the "C Word", we happily supply organic options as well! The organics aren't as efficient and smell quite strongly, but we will carry options for every client. If you have any specific concerns about a product we would use, just ask us for a copy of the labels to be emailed to you and we can help you read through it and understand how it all works. We all stand behind our products, our tools, and our skills to ensure a safe, effective treatment. For 50 years, Jim Kane Sr. would tell every hire he made at Kane, "We protect health, and structure. If the solution is worse than the problem, we don't do it."
