For properties near wooded areas in Benton, we recommend our combination tick and mosquito yard treatment. We apply a barrier spray to landscape beds, wooded edges, and tall grass where ticks and mosquitoes harbor. Treatments last 3–4 weeks and can be scheduled monthly from April through October.
We'll come out, assess your property, and give you a straight price. No commitment required.
Yes. Benton's location at the edge of Cherokee National Forest and near the Hiwassee and Ocoee River corridors means tick pressure is significantly higher than in suburban areas. American dog ticks, lone star ticks, and black-legged ticks (deer ticks) are all found in Polk County. Tick exposure peaks from April through August. Our yard barrier spray treats wooded edges, tall grass, and landscape beds where ticks harbor, providing 3–4 weeks of control per treatment.

Rural and acreage properties are not a problem — our technicians are experienced with properties along wooded lot lines and river corridors.
Properties near the Hiwassee or Ocoee River face elevated pressure from mosquitoes, ticks, and rodents. We recommend a combination program: our every-other-month maintenance plan for year-round ant, spider, and rodent protection, plus dedicated monthly mosquito and tick yard treatments from April through October. This combined approach addresses the distinct challenges of Benton's river-corridor landscape.
Carpenter ant infestations in older structures often involve moisture-damaged wood — a leaky roof, a crawl space with poor drainage, or aging window framing. Effective treatment requires finding the parent colony (usually outdoors in a dead tree or stump) and the indoor satellite colony. OnGuard's carpenter ant treatment targets both locations with non-repellent residual and gel bait, and we'll identify the moisture source so you can address the underlying problem.
