How The Tick Box® Works
Application
Step 1
Bait boxes are placed around the perimeter of a home to attract the white-footed mouse and eastern chipmunk that carry the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease and other illnesses. Ticks that feed on these reservoir hosts become infected with the bacterium and transmit to humans, pets and the next generation of rodents in the area.
Step 2
Mice in general are curious about novel objects in their environment combined with the attractive smell of food inside the tick box entices a mouse to enter.
Step 3
In order to collect its food, the mouse or other small rodent must rub against a wick that applies a low dose of an acaricide known as fipronil to its fur across the head, shoulders and back of the animal.
Step 4
The animal exits the bait box unharmed as the fipronil quickly works to kill any ticks that the host is carrying. The agent continues to kill ticks for many weeks after the initial application. The system is effective for 180 days and will control nymph stage ticks in spring and larvae stage ticks in the summer.
