The paralysis tick is the one most families in Redlands worry about. It lives along the east coast of Australia and thrives in the humid bushland, gardens and leaf litter found right across the Redlands. Paralysis tick control is a yard treatment aimed at the places these ticks favour, so there are fewer of them waiting where your family and pets spend time. The crew we book walks the whole yard before any spray goes down.
Adult paralysis ticks are usually most noticeable from late winter into early summer, but they can turn up at other times too. They are often carried in by bandicoots, which forage in gardens at night and leave small cone-shaped holes in the grass. If you see those diggings, it is a good sign that ticks are being dropped in the yard as well.

We cannot give medical or veterinary advice about paralysis ticks. If a person is unwell, see a doctor, and if it is urgent call 000. If you are worried about a pet, see a vet straight away. Once everyone is looked after, the crew we book can treat the yard to cut down the number of ticks around Redlands homes.
