A tick inspection is a good place to start if you are not sure how bad the problem is. Maybe you have found a couple of ticks on the dog, or the kids have come in from the garden with one, and you want to find out where they are coming from. The crew we book walks your yard in Redlands, checks the likely hiding spots and talks you through what they find.
Ticks are small and hard to spot, so an inspection looks at the signs as well as the ticks themselves. Bandicoot diggings, animal paths through the fence, thick leaf litter and damp shady corners all point to where ticks are likely to be. The crew may also drag a light cloth across the grass in suspect areas, which picks up ticks waiting on the stems. It is a simple check and takes little time on a normal suburban block.
- A walk around the whole yard and fence line
- Checks for wildlife signs such as diggings and tracks
- A look at leaf litter, mulch and shaded ground
- A plain explanation of the hot spots found
- Options for treatment if it is needed
If the inspection shows ticks in one or two corners, a targeted treatment may be all you need. If the whole block is affected, the crew can suggest a yard spray or a barrier along the bush edge. You decide what happens next, and nothing is booked without your say. Homes in Redlands near reserves and creeks often find an inspection helps them plan the season.
