Ticks are a concern for many households in Brisbane, especially homes that back onto bushland, creek lines or large reserves. They live in long grass, leaf litter and low shrubs, and climb onto people and pets as they brush past. Dog owners often notice them first, but people who work in the garden find them too.
A tick treatment focuses on the parts of the yard where ticks wait. When you call, we ask about the size of the yard, what sits on the other side of the back fence and whether you have pets. The crew we book then treats fence lines, garden edges, leaf litter and shady corners, and can point out areas where trimming back plants or clearing debris would help.

Ticks are most active in the warm, humid months, but they can turn up at almost any time of year in Brisbane. It helps to keep grass short, trim overhanging shrubs and clear piles of leaves or cuttings near the house. Pets should be on tick prevention from a vet, as a yard treatment is only one part of the picture.
Many streets in Brisbane sit close to forest or creeks, so ticks can wander in from outside the yard. A treatment reduces numbers around the home rather than removing every tick in the area. If you have concerns about a tick on a person, ask a doctor, and on a pet, ask a vet. To book tick control, call 07 3543 7770 and we will give you the price upfront.
