Tick removal is the main service we book in Brisbane, and it is all about the property. The crew we book clears ticks from backyards, garden beds, courtyards, side paths and the shady ground under houses and decks. It is not about taking a tick off a person or a pet. For that, see a doctor or a vet, and call 000 if a person needs urgent help.
Ticks cannot fly or jump, so they wait on grass stems, low plants and leaf litter until something brushes past. In Brisbane gardens they gather where it is damp and shaded: along the back fence, in mulched beds, under hedges and beneath raised Queenslanders. Short, sunny grass holds very few. The visit targets the shady places first and works out toward the open parts of the yard.
- A walk around the yard to spot tick hot spots and wildlife signs
- Treatment of grass edges, mulched beds and leaf litter
- Attention to the ground under raised houses and decks where reachable
- Clear instructions on keeping people and pets off treated areas until dry
- Simple pointers on mowing and raking to keep numbers down
- Advice on which areas to keep an eye on over the season
Many households in Brisbane call after finding ticks on the dog or on the kids after they have played outside. Others book ahead of spring, when adult paralysis ticks are most active. Either way, the crew we book treats the yard so there are fewer ticks waiting where your family spends time. Bigger blocks near bushland may suit an extra barrier along the fence.
Call 07 3543 7770 for upfront pricing on tick removal. We will book a nearby crew, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
