If ticks turn up in your yard every year, it makes sense to book before they peak. In south-east Queensland, paralysis ticks start to rise from late winter and stay busy through spring and into early summer. A seasonal tick spray in Brisbane is timed for the start of that rise, so the yard is treated before the numbers climb.
Many people book a seasonal spray for late August or September, then book again later in the warm months if the season is wet and humid. There is no lock-in. Each visit is booked when you want it, and each one comes with upfront pricing on the phone before anyone comes out.
The crew we book treats the parts of the yard where ticks wait, using what they find on the walk-around to guide the job. A seasonal spray usually includes these areas.
- Fence lines, hedges and the base of walls
- Garden beds, mulch and ground cover
- Leaf litter under trees and along paths
- Any bush, creek or park edge
- Dog resting spots and kennel surrounds
To get the most from the visit, give the yard a tidy first. Mow the grass, rake leaf litter, cut back plants along the fence and clear piles of timber or pots from shady corners. Put pets inside while the crew works, and keep everyone off treated areas until the crew says they are dry.
If you would like a reminder before next season, ask when you call and we can make a note to ring you. For a tick on a person, see a doctor, and for a tick on a pet, see your vet. Call 07 3543 7773 to book a seasonal tick spray in Brisbane.
