Tick Control in St Lucia for Homes, Units and Gardens

St Lucia sits inside a wide loop of the river, with the University of Queensland taking up much of the peninsula. Around the campus, the streets hold large family homes on leafy blocks, older Queenslanders, and plenty of unit blocks and share houses rented by students.

The bigger homes often have lush gardens with mature trees, thick planting and leaf litter, and many back onto parks, the river bank or green corridors. Wildlife moves through those green spaces at night, so paralysis ticks can turn up in the garden beds and along fences. Share houses and units with a dog are more likely to see brown dog ticks in bedding and along skirting boards.

The crew we book comes out from the city along Coronation Drive and into St Lucia, which is a regular run in the inner west. Tell us about parking, stairs and whether the yard backs onto parkland when you call. The crew checks the garden, the fence lines and the rooms the dog uses, then treats where ticks wait. You get upfront pricing before the visit.
