Mosquito, Flea & Tick Yard Treatment in Franklin Green, Franklin, TN

If you're tired of your backyard being off-limits because of mosquitoes and ticks, I get it. In a neighborhood like Franklin Green, with its established tree canopy and shaded ornamental beds, these pests have the perfect habitat. Mosquitoes aren't out in your sunny lawn; they're hiding on the *underside* of leaves in your shrubs and trees during the day, which is why most sprays that just hit the tops of plants fail. Ticks are a different story, but they end up in the same place. They don't live in your mowed fescue; they're brought in by deer that come to browse on your landscape plants, like arborvitae, and drop off right there in your shrub beds. My solution for Franklin Green homeowners targets both problems in one bee-safe application.

I refused to offer this service until I found a mix that worked, was safe for pollinators, and didn't require me to wear a respirator. That mix didn't exist commercially, so I made it myself from cedar oil, garlic oil, peppermint oil, and a specific soap. Because it's bee-safe, I can legally and thoroughly treat the flowering plants in your landscape, which is where mosquitoes actually are, without harming bees. I apply it with a backpack mist blower, aiming the outlet upward into your canopy to coat the underside of leaves, exactly where pests hide. It's the same effective, careful approach I take with the wild violet control I'm known for in Franklin.

The service includes a walk of your property at signup to identify and address standing water sources, the breeding grounds. For spots that can't be emptied, like a pond, I use bacteria tablets (mosquito dunks) that are safe for everything except larvae. For homes in Franklin Green with dedicated pollinator gardens, I have a sub-protocol that adjusts the mix for those specific areas. This isn't a blanket spray; it's a targeted treatment for your shaded, landscaped areas, making your yard usable again. It’s built for the specific challenges of a mature neighborhood like yours.
