TICKS FIRST IN 76092
In Southlake, ticks are the part worth taking seriously
Fleas are miserable, ticks are a health question, and Southlake is one of the few towns on our map where the second one leads. Lone star and American dog ticks are established in Tarrant County, and the properties on the north side toward Bob Jones Nature Area and the Grapevine Lake corridor sit against exactly the kind of unmowed, brushy ground those ticks live in.
They do not drop out of trees and they do not chase anybody. A tick climbs a grass stem or a low branch at the edge of the mown line, holds its front legs out and waits for a leg or a dog to brush past. That is why a treated strip along the back boundary does more for your family than anything applied in the middle of the lawn.
Fleas in Southlake live wherever irrigation and ornamental planting keep soil damp: under the dense beds, along shaded fences, beneath decks and pool decking. Both pests get the same program, the full lawn plus the building perimeter, on a visit every 21 days from April through September.
SOUTHLAKE LOT PRICING
Why Southlake sits at the top of this price table
Billing follows lot size per visit, so the town with the biggest lots pays the most. From 22,001 to 27,000 square feet it is $89.95, from 27,001 to 32,000 it is $99.95, and the bands keep stepping ten dollars at a time up to $129.95 at 47,000 square feet. Past that, roughly an acre, we quote the property rather than force it into a band.
House square footage is irrelevant on this program, which catches out plenty of people in 76092 whose home is the biggest thing on the lot. Grass, beds and boundary are what we treat and what the meter runs on. No contract, no startup or cancellation fee, and retreatment is included if something comes back between two scheduled visits.

THE LIMITS, PLAINLY
What a treated Southlake yard still will not do
It will not end an infestation that has moved indoors. Once fleas are breeding in the house, in rugs and in the spot the dog sleeps, the yard has stopped being the source and killing the outdoor supply changes nothing about the eggs under your sofa. That side is vacuuming, laundry at high heat and a prescription product from your veterinarian, and until those happen you are buying half a solution from us.
It does not reach past your property line. Bob Jones, the lake land and HOA common ground are not ours to treat, so a dog walked in the natural areas on the north side will keep coming home carrying passengers. Treating the boundary lowers what crosses your fence; it does nothing about what rides in on the leash, so keep checking the dog.
And if the landscape is a showpiece, tell us before the first visit. We leave blooming flowers alone and work around pollinator plantings, which on a heavily planted property means a genuine share of the bed area goes untreated. That is the right horticultural call, and it also means the treatment does slightly less than it would on a plain Bermuda yard.
MISTING SYSTEM VS THIS
You already have a misting system. Do you need this as well?
Possibly not, and we would rather say that on site than sell over the top of hardware you already paid for. A well-maintained misting system covering the right zones does a real job on adults, and where the nozzles reach it suppresses adult fleas along with the mosquitoes.
Where it falls short is the ground and the far corners. Misting lines are aimed at air and bed lines near the house, and on a lot this size they rarely make it to the back boundary, which is precisely where the tick habitat and the shaded flea soil are. A scheduled lawn and perimeter treatment goes after larvae in the soil and the edge where ticks wait, so the two are complementary rather than duplicates. If you will only run one of them on a big Southlake lot near the lake corridor, run the one that treats the ground.
VISIT ONE IN SOUTHLAKE
What happens on the first Southlake treatment
Mapping the no-spray zones
Before anything is applied we want to know where the pollinator beds, the vegetable plot and any ponds are, and we mark them off. On a heavily planted property that walk can take longer than the treatment, and it is time well spent.
The boundary strip, then the lawn
On lots backing onto undeveloped ground we begin at the fence line, because that band is where ticks hold and where flea-carrying wildlife travels. The open lawn and the foundation line follow it.
Working around your lawn crew
Tell us which day the yard gets cut. Treating the afternoon before a mow means a good share of what we applied leaves in the bag, and a quick look at the calendar avoids paying for that twice.
