- Overgrown grass and leaf litter, which are ideal habitats for ticks
- Regular visits from wildlife like deer or raccoons that carry ticks

Why Tick Control Is So Important
Ticks may be small, but the dangers they pose are real. One bite is all it takes to transmit diseases that can lead to long-term health issues. Left untreated, tick populations can multiply rapidly, making your yard an unsafe place for your family and pets. Children and animals are especially vulnerable to tick bites due to their frequent outdoor activity.
Benefits of proactive tick control:
- Reduces the risk of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses
- Helps protect pets and family members
- Makes your outdoor space safer and more enjoyable
- Prevents future infestations through ongoing service
How Our Tick Treatments Protect Pets
Ticks are notorious for attaching to dogs and cats who spend time outdoors. Our treatments are:
- Pet-safe when dry
- Applied to areas where pets play and rest
- Effective at reducing tick populations before they can attach
Regular tick control can help avoid costly vet visits and painful tick-borne illnesses in pets.
What Attracts Ticks to Your Yard?
Understanding what draws ticks to your property can help you prevent future infestations. Ticks thrive in:
- Shady, humid environments with tall grasses and brush
- Leaf litter, woodpiles, and overgrown landscaping
- Areas frequented by deer, rodents, or stray pets
- Unkempt property edges and wood lines
Our team can help you identify and eliminate these risk factors to keep your yard safe and tick-free.
