Our Detailed Tick Control Process
Our tick control service is designed to be comprehensive, addressing all aspects of tick management from initial inspection to ongoing prevention. We use a multi-faceted approach to ensure effective and long-lasting results, safeguarding your property and loved ones from these troublesome pests.
Comprehensive Property Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify potential tick habitats and assess the extent of the infestation. This includes examining areas with tall grass, dense vegetation, and wooded boundaries, which are common tick hideouts. During the inspection, we'll also look for conditions that may be attracting ticks, such as the presence of rodents or wildlife, and provide recommendations for addressing these issues.
Targeted Treatment Application
Based on our findings, we'll develop a customized treatment plan that targets ticks in their various life stages. We use EPA-approved products that are safe for your family and pets when applied according to label instructions. Our technicians are trained to apply these treatments strategically, focusing on areas where ticks are most likely to be present, such as along fence lines, in shaded areas, and around ornamental plantings.
Preventative Measures and Recommendations
In addition to our treatment applications, we provide practical recommendations for preventing future tick infestations. This may include mowing your lawn regularly, trimming vegetation, removing leaf litter, and creating a barrier between your property and wooded areas. We'll also advise you on personal protection measures, such as wearing protective clothing when outdoors and using insect repellent.
Follow-Up Inspections and Treatments
We offer follow-up inspections and treatments to ensure that the tick control is working effectively and to address any new infestations that may arise. Our goal is to provide you with ongoing protection and peace of mind, knowing that your property is safeguarded from ticks and the diseases they can carry.
Common Problems Indicating a Need for Tick Control
Recognizing the signs of a tick infestation early can help you take prompt action and prevent the problem from escalating. Here are some common issues that indicate you may need professional tick control services:
Frequent Tick Bites
If you, your family members, or your pets are frequently getting tick bites, it's a clear sign that ticks are present on your property. Tick bites can cause itching, redness, and swelling, and in some cases, they can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Addressing a tick problem promptly can help prevent these health risks.

<!--Discovery of Ticks Indoors
Finding ticks inside your home is a serious concern, as it indicates that ticks have found a way to enter your living space. This is especially concerning if you have young children or pets who spend time indoors. Addressing the underlying tick infestation and sealing entry points can help keep your home tick-free.
-->High Grass and Dense Vegetation
Ticks thrive in overgrown areas with tall grass, weeds, and dense vegetation. If your property has these types of environments, it's more likely to attract ticks and harbor infestations. Keeping your lawn well-maintained and clearing away overgrown vegetation can help reduce tick populations.
<!--Wildlife Activity
Wildlife such as deer, rodents, and birds can carry ticks onto your property. If you have a lot of wildlife activity in your yard, it's more likely that ticks will be present. Taking measures to discourage wildlife from entering your property, such as installing fencing and removing food sources, can help reduce tick exposure.
-->Increased Risk of Tick-Borne Diseases
Living in an area with a high prevalence of tick-borne diseases increases the risk of contracting these illnesses if you're bitten by an infected tick. Protecting yourself and your family from tick bites through effective tick control measures is essential in these areas.
Understanding Tick Behavior
To effectively control ticks, understanding their behavior and habits is essential. Ticks are not insects; they are arachnids, related to spiders and mites. They go through four life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Ticks are most active during the warmer months but can remain active year-round in milder climates. They do not jump or fly; instead, they wait on vegetation for a host to pass by, a behavior known as 'questing'.
Questing Behavior
Ticks exhibit questing behavior, where they climb onto low vegetation or the edges of paths and wait for a host to brush against them. They use sensory cues to detect hosts, including vibrations, carbon dioxide, and body heat. Understanding this behavior allows for targeted treatment strategies, focusing on areas where ticks are most likely to quest.
Tick Habitats
Ticks prefer humid, shaded environments, such as wooded areas, tall grasses, and leaf litter. They require moisture to survive and avoid direct sunlight. Identifying and managing these habitats on your property can help reduce tick populations. This includes mowing lawns, clearing vegetation, and removing leaf litter.
Host Preferences
Ticks feed on a variety of hosts, including mammals, birds, and reptiles. Different tick species have different host preferences. For example, the black-legged tick, also known as the deer tick, commonly feeds on deer, rodents, and birds. Understanding the host preferences of ticks in your area can help target control efforts and reduce tick exposure.
Life Cycle
Ticks go through a complex life cycle that can take up to two years to complete. Each stage requires a blood meal to develop into the next stage. Ticks can transmit diseases at any stage of their life cycle, making it essential to control ticks at all stages. Understanding the life cycle of ticks allows for targeted treatment strategies that disrupt their development and reduce their populations.
Comprehensive Tick Prevention Tips
Preventing tick infestations is crucial for protecting yourself, your family, and your pets from tick-borne diseases. Here are some comprehensive tips to help prevent ticks from infesting your property:
Maintain Your Yard
Regularly mow your lawn and trim vegetation to reduce tick habitats. Keep grass short and clear away weeds, brush, and leaf litter. This will make your property less attractive to ticks and reduce the likelihood of infestations.
Create a Tick-Safe Zone
Create a barrier of wood chips or gravel between your lawn and wooded areas to prevent ticks from migrating onto your property. This barrier should be at least three feet wide. This will make it more difficult for ticks to reach your lawn and reduce tick exposure.
Use Tick Repellents
Apply tick repellents to your skin and clothing when spending time outdoors. Look for repellents that contain DEET, picaridin, or IR3535. Follow the instructions on the label carefully and reapply as needed. This will help deter ticks from biting you and reduce the risk of tick-borne diseases.
Check for Ticks Regularly
After spending time outdoors, perform a thorough tick check on yourself, your family members, and your pets. Pay close attention to areas such as your scalp, ears, armpits, groin, and behind your knees. Remove any ticks promptly and disinfect the bite area. This will help prevent tick-borne diseases and reduce the risk of complications.
Protect Your Pets
Use tick preventatives on your pets to protect them from tick bites. There are many different tick preventatives available, including topical treatments, oral medications, and tick collars. Talk to your veterinarian about the best option for your pet. This will help prevent ticks from biting your pets and reduce the risk of tick-borne diseases.
