Finding ticks inside is unsettling, and it usually means something has changed. In Brisbane, ticks indoors are most often brown dog ticks that have set up in a home with a dog. Now and then a paralysis tick is carried in on clothes or a pet, but those do not breed indoors the same way. The crew we book works out which one you are dealing with before treating.
When you call, tell us which rooms you have seen ticks in, whether you have a dog and what kind of flooring the home has. Carpet, timber boards and tiles each have different gaps and edges for ticks to hide in. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew at a time that suits you.
Indoor treatments focus on the edges and cracks where ticks shelter between feeds, not on open floor.
- Skirting boards and the gap under them
- Door frames, architraves and window sills
- Pet beds, sofas the dog uses and the floor around them
- Gaps between timber floorboards
- Laundry, garage and entry areas
Before the visit, vacuum all floors and along the skirting boards, then empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding and any throw rugs the dog sleeps on. Pull furniture away from the walls if you can, and clear the floor of shoes, toys and clutter. Keep pets and kids out of treated rooms until the crew says they are dry.
Many homes pair an indoor treatment with a yard or courtyard treatment, since ticks move between the two. For a tick on a person, see a doctor, and for a pet, see your vet. Call 07 3543 7773 to book an indoor tick treatment in Brisbane.
