Our Detailed Tick Control Service
Our tick control service is designed to be comprehensive and effective, targeting ticks at every stage of their life cycle. Here’s a breakdown of what our service includes:
Comprehensive Property Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify tick habitats, entry points, and the extent of the infestation. This includes checking areas such as:
- Tall grass and weeds
- Wood piles
- Leaf litter
- Areas near fences
- Under decks and patios
Identifying these key areas allows us to develop a targeted treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of your property.
Targeted Tick Treatments
Our treatments involve the application of specialized products that are effective against ticks while remaining safe for your family and pets when applied correctly. We use a combination of methods, including:
- Spraying: Applying insecticide to areas where ticks are likely to live and breed.
- Granular Treatments: Spreading granules that kill ticks in grassy areas and around the perimeter of your property.
- Barrier Treatments: Creating a protective barrier to prevent ticks from entering your yard.
Understanding Tick Behavior
To effectively control ticks, it's important to understand their behavior. Ticks are most active during the warmer months (spring through fall) and thrive in humid environments. They often attach to hosts (such as animals or humans) that brush against vegetation where they are waiting. Effective eradication methods must account for all of these things. Also, remember to check out our spider removal page because spiders like to carry ticks.
Prevention Strategies
In addition to our treatment services, we provide valuable advice and strategies to help you prevent future tick infestations. These include:
- Landscaping Tips: Keeping your lawn mowed, removing leaf litter, and trimming shrubs to reduce tick habitats.
- Protective Measures: Wearing long sleeves and pants when in wooded areas, using insect repellent, and checking yourself and your pets for ticks after outdoor activities.
- Pet Protection: Using tick prevention products recommended by your veterinarian.
Safe and Eco-Friendly Options
We understand the importance of protecting the environment and the health of your family and pets. That’s why we offer eco-friendly tick control options that are effective yet gentle. These options include natural insecticides and integrated pest management techniques.

Common Problems Indicating a Need for Tick Control
Ticks can pose significant health risks, and recognizing the signs of a potential infestation is crucial for effective prevention and control. Here are some common problems that may indicate you need professional tick control services:
Frequent Tick Encounters
If you're finding ticks on yourself, your family, or your pets after spending time in your yard, it's a clear sign that ticks are present. This can be especially concerning if you have young children or pets who are more vulnerable to tick bites.
Finding ticks frequently indicates that there is an established population on your property. Ignoring this issue can lead to increased risk of tick-borne diseases. Our comprehensive tick control treatments can eliminate these pests and create a barrier to prevent future infestations.
Unexplained Rashes or Bites
Tick bites can often go unnoticed, especially if they occur in hard-to-see areas. If you or your family members are experiencing unexplained rashes or bites, it's possible that ticks are to blame. Some people may also experience allergic reactions or develop secondary infections from tick bites.
Unexplained rashes or bites should always be investigated, as they could indicate a tick infestation. Delaying treatment allows ticks to continue feeding and potentially transmit diseases. Our experienced technicians can identify tick habitats and implement targeted treatments to address the problem.
Increased Pet Scratching or Licking
Pets are particularly susceptible to tick bites, as they spend a lot of time outdoors. If you notice your pet scratching or licking excessively, it could be a sign that they have ticks. Check your pet's fur for small, dark bumps or crawling insects.
Increased scratching or licking in pets indicates discomfort and may lead to skin irritation or secondary infections. Ticks can also transmit diseases to pets, such as Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis. Protecting your pets with tick prevention products and professional tick control services is essential for their health and well-being.
Presence of Wildlife
Wildlife, such as deer, rodents, and birds, can carry ticks onto your property. If you frequently see these animals in your yard, they may be introducing ticks. This is especially common in areas with wooded or grassy landscapes.
Wildlife serves as hosts for ticks, allowing them to spread and establish populations on your property. While it may not be possible to eliminate wildlife entirely, taking steps to deter them can help reduce the risk of tick infestations. Our tick control services target tick habitats and create a barrier to prevent ticks from spreading.
Living Near High-Risk Areas
If you live near wooded areas, tall grass, or other tick-friendly habitats, you're at a higher risk of encountering ticks. These areas provide ideal conditions for ticks to thrive and can serve as a source of infestation for your property.
Living near high-risk areas increases the likelihood of encountering ticks and should prompt proactive measures to protect your family and pets. Maintaining your yard, using insect repellent, and seeking professional tick control services can help mitigate this risk.
Changes In Behavior
Sometimes, the only sign of a tick bite can be a sudden change in behavior, particularly in children or pets. If someone becomes unusually lethargic, irritable, or develops flu-like symptoms after spending time outdoors, it could be a sign of a tick-borne illness like Lyme disease. Monitor any behavioral changes closely and seek medical or veterinary attention if symptoms persist.
Changes in behavior may not immediately be linked to tick bites, but it's still important to consider the possibility, especially during tick season. Early detection and treatment of tick-borne illnesses are crucial for preventing long-term complications. Our tick control services can help reduce the risk of tick bites and associated health concerns.
