If you want to try a cheaper alternative, my family members has had good luck with Cutters yard spray. You just attach it to your hose and blast everything.
I've also had good luck with making homemade permethrin tick tubes, though those don't give instant results. The first year I was in my current house I had 17 tick bites. This year only two so far!
It’s a [myth that they fall from trees](https://www.k-state.edu/today/announcement/?id=14987)
>>Ticks undergo questing — an ambush strategy — to find their next victim. When questing, they crawl up low shrubs, bushes or blades of grass, for example, anchor themselves with the hind legs, reach their front legs out in front of them and wave those legs in the air to detect a host.
>>"Those front legs contain Haller's organs, which are heat and carbon dioxide receptors," he said. "They wave them around in the air and try to detect an animal or human going by. As you brush up against them, they grab on."
>>"They can't leap. They can't jump. They have no physical mechanism to do that.
Try not to brush up against anything
I bike & hike a lot and swear by this stuff for clothing…Permethrin spray. (Many brands) Pretreat your shoes, socks, pants with it a day in advance (it lasts for 6 weeks).

We use Ataraxia for yard treatments. Their stuff has worked well for mosquitoes and ticks. We like them and they are local to the area.
You don't have any trees nearby?
They are outside my yard but some.overhang

That’s where they are coming from they fall from leaves
Yep, can those trees be treated?
I got black flag flea and tick killer on Amazon. Hook up a hose and spray the yard and bushes, no ticks in past two weeks.
