The answer to 'how long does tick treatment last' is that the effectiveness of tick treatments can vary, but they typically provide protection for 4-6 weeks. Tick treatments work by applying an insecticide or acaricide (a substance that kills ticks) to the areas where ticks are likely to be found, such as the lawn, landscaping, and pet's living areas. These treatments kill ticks on contact and help prevent new ticks from entering the treated areas.
However, the longevity of the treatment can depend on factors such as weather, the type of product used, and the frequency of application. In general, homeowners should expect to reapply tick treatments every 4-6 weeks during tick season to maintain effective protection.
