A yard tick treatment is the most common booking we take in Brisbane. Paralysis ticks live outdoors, low in the garden, and wait on grass stems and leaves for a host to pass. A yard treatment goes after them where they wait, so your family and pets are less likely to pick them up on the way to the clothesline.
When you call, tell us roughly how big the yard is, whether it slopes, and what sits along the back fence. A yard that backs onto a creek, a park or a bushy easement needs more attention than a level, open block. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew for a time that suits you.
On the day, the crew walks the yard before spraying anything. They look for damp, shady patches, thick ground cover and leaf litter, because that is where ticks gather. The treatment then goes on in a band along the places ticks use most.
- Fence lines and the base of hedges
- Garden beds, mulch and ground cover
- Under decks, stairs and raised verandahs
- Shady corners behind sheds and water tanks
- Paths your dog wears along the fence
Mow and rake a day or two before the visit, and put pets inside while the crew works. The crew will tell you how long to keep people and pets off treated areas, which is usually until the spray has dried. Keeping the grass short and the leaf litter down between visits helps the treatment go further. For a tick on a person or pet, see a doctor or your vet.
Yards across Brisbane vary a lot, from tiny courtyards to deep hillside blocks, so every price is worked out from your details. Call 07 3543 7773 to book a yard tick treatment.
