The paralysis tick is the tick most Brisbane pet owners talk about. It lives along Australia's east coast and does well in the humid gardens, bushland and creek corridors found across Brisbane. Paralysis tick treatment is a yard service that goes after the places these ticks wait, so fewer are sitting in the grass and garden beds your family and pets use. The crew we book looks at the whole yard before any treatment starts.
Bandicoots are the main carrier in many suburbs. They forage at night, leaving small cone-shaped holes in grass and garden beds, and ticks drop off them along the way. If you are seeing those diggings, the crew will usually start there, then treat the mulch, leaf litter and shaded fence lines nearby. Leafy suburbs on the western side of the city tend to see the most.
- A search for bandicoot diggings, runs and gaps in the fence

- Focus on mulched beds, hedges and leaf litter near the house
- Timing matched to the late winter and spring peak
- Pointers on keeping cover down after the visit
We cannot give medical or veterinary advice about paralysis ticks. If a person feels unwell, see a doctor, and call 000 if it is urgent. If you have any concern about a pet, see a vet straight away. Once everyone is looked after, the crew we book can treat the yard to bring down the number of paralysis ticks around your Brisbane home.
Call 07 3543 7770 to book paralysis tick treatment. We will ask a few quick questions, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew.
