Garden beds are one of the favourite hiding spots for ticks in Brisbane. Mulch holds moisture, dense planting keeps the sun off, and bandicoots dig through beds at night looking for grubs, dropping ticks as they go. If your beds are full and shady, a garden bed tick spray puts the attention where it counts.
This service suits yards with deep mulched beds, clumping plants like lomandra and bromeliads, and borders that run along the fence. The crew we book treats the bed edges and the ground under the plants, where ticks sit waiting for a host to brush past. They work around edible plants, ponds and any spots you want left alone.
When you call, tell us how many beds there are, roughly how long they run and whether you grow herbs or veggies. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew at a time that suits you. A garden bed spray usually covers these areas.
- Bed edges where they meet grass or paths
- Mulch and leaf litter under shrubs
- Clumping plants and dense ground cover
- Beds along fences and retaining walls
- Shady beds on the south side of the house
Before the visit, rake loose leaves off the mulch and trim back plants that hang over paths. Pick any herbs or veggies you want to use soon, and cover or mark any edible beds so the crew can skip them. Keep pets and kids out of the beds until the crew says the spray has dried.
A garden bed spray is often booked with a yard tick treatment for full coverage. For a tick on a person or a pet, see a doctor or your vet. Call 07 3543 7773 to book a garden bed tick spray in Brisbane.
