Tick Control

Ticks wait quietly at the ends of grasses and shrubs for host animals, rather than on trees. When they come into contact with a moving animal or person, they quickly detach from the vegetation and climb onto their host. These creatures can only crawl; they do not have the capability to fly or jump. Generally, ticks discovered on the scalp have made their way there from the lower parts of the body, and some species can travel several feet in pursuit of a host. Notably, ticks can remain active even on winter days when ground temperatures are around 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Soft ticks really enjoy hot, dry spots and are mostly found in western U.S. They like to hang out in places like dens, caves, animal burrows, and even old human buildings hiding under floorboards or in the walls. You might come across them in natural vegetation, but it's pretty rare!

We provide effective insecticides and equipment designed to successfully repel ticks. Our treatment begins with an initial spraying, but it extends beyond that. We also offer plants and small trees that serve as natural deer repellents; by deterring deer, you can effectively reduce the likelihood of ticks.
