I just moved into a new home in March and have a solid 1.5 acres of woods behind, including a runoff/neighborhood drainage stream that loves to provide plenty of stagnant water.  Given life events I couldn't do much lawn upkeep this year so hired a fertilizer company to come throughout, and they also offered tick spraying.

I was pulling ticks off myself and my two dogs almost daily from a green lawn and not even heading into the woods, let alone traversing through the first few feet of brush prior to opting for the treatment.  Afterwards, I haven't noticed any.  I would 100% recommend it for those with animals or children that find themselves tick-prone.

With that being said, I used to be on 15 acres with chickens, wild turkeys that would swing through in huge numbers, and all other wildlife, and that absolutely did the trick as we rarely were finding ticks unless it was a hike through the woods type proposition & you'd expect to anyhow.  If you don't see or have ticks regularly, don't bother.
