Becky:
When we moved here 16 years ago, you couldn't go out the back door without being eaten alive with fleas and ticks. We used Dursban for a couple of years and haven't had a problem since. But, that's not on the market anymore.
I suggest you go to Home Depot, Rural King, Tractor Supply, etc. and look for an insecticide for lawns. There are several good products out there. The granular products have to be applied with a spreader (I have one you could borrow, if you like) just before a good rain (not a problem lately). There are liquid products too; those have to be sprayed on.
Keep the kids off the lawn for a day or so. (Just follow the directions.)
