I need to put tick granules out but we are expecting some very heavy rain later today. do I need to wait to put them out?
Most granules like the Sevin brand need to be watered in after application to activate the ingredients. A light rain however is all that would be needed so waiting until after the heavier rain would be more beneficial. Also, keep in mind many times granules are not your best option for tick control. A spray to use on brush and foliage that they will be hiding in is a better option because they will hide there more than your yard, especially if you keep your grass short. You could use the Tick Control Kit for more thorough control.
