Ticks around North Lakes tend to be picked up in longer grass, garden edges, bushland borders and shaded spots where pets and people brush past vegetation, then get carried into the yard or the house. A pet scratching more than usual, or a small hard lump on the skin that was not there before, is often the first sign people notice before calling. Warmer, humid weather through spring and summer tends to bring the biggest jump in numbers, especially on properties backing onto parkland or reserve.
On the call, tell us where you have found ticks, whether it is mostly in the yard, near a fence line or bushland edge, or inside the house as well. We match that to a crew who covers North Lakes and can treat the outdoor areas where ticks are picked up, with pricing given over the phone before a time is booked.

If a tick has attached to you or a family pet, that is a question for a doctor or a vet rather than the pest crew, since removing an attached tick safely is not something we can advise on over the phone. The North Lakes crew we book focuses on the yard and garden. Call 07 3543 7771 to arrange a tick control visit.
