We had good luck with Tick Tubes. They look like empty toilet paper rolls that have been stuffed with pyrethrin-soaked cotton fluff. Part of the deer tick cycle depends on biting a mouse. The mice use the fluff in their nest which kill the ticks on them.
Using tick tubes is less likely to damage the environment than spraying a pesticide.
I covered the whole 1.25 acres of grounds, mostly deep woods, several years ago with tick tubes, placing them about 10 yards apart. We have seen very few tick since.
The website below has information about Tick Tubes and lots of other tips for dealing with ticks.

Ditto. I’m also looking for a tick spraying service and would appreciate any suggestions.
As for dealing with ticks and a small child, long sleeves, a hat and tick spray containing Picardin help but nightly tick checks are also a must. Fine tweezers gentle pulling and then ice cream to deal with the tears
