Paralysis ticks are common in the bushland and long grass around Caboolture, and dogs and cats that roam acreage or creek land pick them up easily. Numbers are highest from late winter into summer. Bandicoots and other wildlife carry ticks into yards, so even tidy suburban blocks near bush reserves can have them. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to treat the yard.
Tick control is done outside. The crew sprays the places ticks wait for a host: long grass, shrubs, garden edges, leaf litter, the base of fences and the strip where the yard meets bush or paddock. They also treat kennels, dog runs, under decks and shady spots where pets lie. On acreage, the treatment is usually done in zones, starting around the house and the areas your family and pets use every day.
- Bush edges, paddock lines and long grass
- Garden beds, shrubs and leaf litter
- Kennels, dog runs and under decks
- Zones on acreage, house area first
- Advice on mowing and clearing leaf piles
Short grass and clear edges make the yard less friendly for ticks, so mow regularly and rake up leaf litter near the house. Booking before late winter means the yard is treated before numbers climb. Speak with your vet about tick prevention for your pets. If a person becomes unwell after a tick bite, call 000 or see a doctor.
Before the crew arrives, bring pets inside and move toys and outdoor furniture off the grass. Close chook pens during the spray. The crew will tell you when the yard is ready to use.
