Tick control is about keeping numbers down over the whole season, rather than a single clean-out. It suits Brisbane homes that keep getting ticks year after year, usually because the yard backs onto bushland, a creek corridor or a park that bandicoots use. It works well for families with young children and dogs who use the yard every day. The crew we book treats the yard, then suggests a timing plan so the busy months are covered.
A single treatment knocks back the ticks already in the yard, but wildlife keeps bringing new ones in. That is why many families near Mount Coot-tha, Enoggera Creek and the western ridges book a treatment before spring and another in summer. Homes further from bush may only need one visit a year, if that.
- An initial treatment of the yard's tick hot spots
- A suggested schedule based on how close you are to bush
- Extra attention on fence lines that face reserves or creeks
- Tips on keeping cover down between visits
- The option to add a barrier spray along the boundary
Between visits, the simplest things make the biggest difference. Keep grass short, rake leaf litter out of shady corners and from under the house, and trim hedges so sunlight reaches the soil. The crew will point out any spots in your yard that need more attention. Nothing ongoing is booked without your okay, and each visit comes with upfront pricing.
