Tick control is the main job we book in Redlands. It covers the outdoor areas of a home where ticks wait for a passing person or animal: the front and back yard, garden beds, fence lines, and the shady ground under decks, hedges and trees. The crew we book walks the block first, works out where ticks are most likely to be, and then treats those areas in a sensible order, starting from the wild edge and working in.
Ticks do not jump or fly. They climb grass stems and low plants and hold on until something brushes past. That is why the job focuses on long grass, leaf litter, mulch and the strip where your yard meets bush, a creek or an overgrown block next door. Open, sunny, short grass holds far fewer ticks than a damp, shaded corner.
- A walk around the property to find the likely tick spots
- Treatment of grass edges, garden beds and leaf litter zones
- Extra attention on fences that back onto bushland or reserves
- Clear advice on keeping people and pets off treated areas until dry
- Simple tips on mowing and clearing to keep numbers down
We do not give advice on taking ticks off people or pets. For that, speak to a doctor or a vet. Our role is the yard and getting the right crew to it. Many homes in Redlands book tick control ahead of spring and again later in the season, especially where the back fence meets bushland or a creek.
Call 07 3543 7764 and tell us about your block. We will give you upfront pricing on the call and book a local team, often same-day or next-day where the run allows.
