Here’s How it Works

Thermacell tick control tubes are placed around the perimeter of your property and in areas where mice frequent and hide.  Woodpiles, overgrown plant materials, window wells, ground covers, flowerbeds, bushes, stone walls, and borders abutting forests and unmaintained areas. Tick tubes are easy to usem environmentally friendly, and safe for people, pets, and wildlife.

Each tick tube contains cotton treated with permethrin, which mice collect and use to line their nests.  Ticks feeding on the mice are exposed to the permethrin and are killed.  Mice go from being tick hosts to tick killers. Tick tubes go where sprays can’t reach and kill ticks that may carry Lyme disease.
