The carbamate and organophospate acaricides, previously the most commonly used against ticks, have given way to synthetic pyrethroids and, to a lesser extent, the use of natural product\/organic acaricides. Typical costs for a single acaricide application today ($100\u2013$200 for a 1 acre [0.4 ha] property) remain similar to those reported from the earlier surveys, although the frequency of applications and, therefore, also the overall annual cost has increased. The application habitats within residential properties, life stages targeted, and application equipment used have not changed appreciably since the mid-1990s. While most survey respondents expressed knowledge of natural product acaricides and Damminix Tick Tubes, many reported that they either did not employ or knew very little about other alternative tick control methods (including entomopathogenic fungus and topical application of acaricides to tick hosts via 4-Poster deer treatment stations or Select TCS rodent bait boxes). This suggests either a failure to adequately inform the pest management industry and their potential client base of the availability of alternate methods, and\/or industry concerns about cost and effectiveness of the alternatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjz215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,3]],"date-time":"2019-12-03T14:21:09Z","timestamp":1575382869000},"page":"807-814","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Availability and Nature of Commercial Tick Control Services in Three Lyme Disease Endemic States"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2777-392X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert A","family":"Jordan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division, Tinton Falls, NJ"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Terry L","family":"Schulze","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020050411480530300_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-015-2629-x","article-title":"Acceptability of tick control interventions to prevent Lyme disease in Switzerland and Canada: a mixed-method study","volume":"16","author":"Aenishaenslin","year":"2016","journal-title":"BMC Public Health"},{"key":"2020050411480530300_CIT0002","volume-title":"Lyme disease data tables: most recent year [Internet]","author":"CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)","year":"2018"},{"key":"2020050411480530300_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"687","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.1997.57.687","article-title":"Landscape characterization of peridomestic risk for Lyme disease using satellite imagery","volume":"57","author":"Dister","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am.
