Ticks are a concern in yards as they carry diseases and pose a significant risk to the safety of your family and pets. It is always best to call a professional pest controller to treat for ticks in your yard. Ticks can often require a follow up treatment to ensure greater effectiveness.

Treatment process for Ticks

• Inspection/assessment by the technician to identify areas with tick activity such overgrown grass, leaf litter, garden beds and foliage.
• A residual insecticide will be applied as a light blanket spray to all areas of your yard which are high risk areas.
• It is important to note that tick control in yards may not completely eradicate ticks, as they can be introduced by wildlife such as bandicoots. However professional treatments can significantly reduce overall tick populations.
• Preventative recommendations will be provided by your technician on the day to protect your property against future infestations such as keeping your lawn trimmed, removing excess vegetation and foliage and regularly treating your pets with tick control products.
