What is the best preventative yard treatment you have used? Seems to be a lot of ticks this year.

I used to use a Spectracide granular for the yard. It was pretty good at killing all kinds of unwanted bugs. However, it is only good once it gets wet, so it won't work in a drought. Also, they changed the makeup of it recently, and I don't think it is as good as it used to be.

Currently, I am using Ortho Fire Ant Killer. We haven't had any ticks yet. (I AM keeping my fingers crossed.)
