WHY CONTROL TICKS?

As the weather warms and outdoor activities pick up, ticks become more than just a nuisance. These tiny pests carry dangerous diseases like Lyme disease, making Tick Pest Control essential for protecting your family.

With rising temperatures and increased rainfall boosting tick populations, now’s the time to safeguard your yard and loved ones.

1. Reclaim Your Outdoor Space

Don’t let ticks push you indoors. Professional Tick Pest Control keeps your yard tick-free, so you can enjoy your outdoor time without worry.

2. Protect Your Health

Ticks spread serious diseases that can affect both people and pets. Effective tick control reduces the risk of illness and ensures a safer environment for everyone.

3. Prevent Infestations

Ticks multiply quickly in the right conditions. By acting early, you can prevent a larger infestation and the headaches that come with it.

Tick Pest Control Services

At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we understand the worry that comes with finding ticks on your property. That’s why we provide tailored Tick Pest Control solutions designed to keep you, your family, and your pets safe from these disease-carrying pests.

  • Complete Tick Treatment

    Our process starts by identifying and targeting tick hotspots around your yard, including tall grass, wooded areas, and places where ticks are likely to hide. We use effective treatments to reduce the tick population quickly and prevent future infestations.

  • Long-Term Protection

    Our approach doesn’t just tackle the current problem; it also focuses on disrupting the tick life cycle, helping to eliminate tick eggs and larvae before they can grow into biting adults. This ensures your yard stays protected for the long term.

  • Custom Plans for Your Yard

    No two properties are the same, which is why our tick control plans are customized to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with a small tick problem or a larger infestation, we’ll design a plan that provides lasting protection and peace of mind.

Tips for Tick Prevention:

After treatment, here are a few steps to keep ticks at bay:

  • 1

    Daily Tick Checks: Since ticks, like the black-legged deer tick, take at least 24 hours to transmit Lyme disease, performing thorough daily checks after spending time outdoors is essential. If you find a tick, remove it promptly using fine-tipped tweezers and clean the area with soap and water.

  • 2

    Protect Your Skin: Wearing long sleeves and pants is recommended, especially in areas where ticks thrive, such as wooded or grassy areas. Wearing light-colored clothes makes it easier to spot ticks. You can also tuck your pants to your socks or opt for clothing treated with permethrin for extra protection.

  • 3

    Check Your Pets: Ticks can easily latch onto pets, so regularly check them, especially after outdoor activities. Consult your veterinarian for tick prevention treatments, and keep pet bedding and toys clean.

  • 4

    Yard Maintenance: Keep your grass short and remove any leaf litter or debris where ticks could hide. This will create a less welcoming environment for ticks in your yard.

HOW TO SPOT TICK ACTIVITY

Ticks can be hard to spot, but identifying them early is key to keeping your home and yard safe. Look for these signs of tick activity to stay ahead of an infestation:

1. Ticks on Pets or Clothing

After spending time outdoors, check yourself and your pets for small, dark ticks. These pests are often found attached to skin or fur, particularly around the legs or waistline.

2. Ticks in Tall Grass or Brush

Ticks thrive in overgrown areas. Keep an eye out for ticks in tall grass, leaf litter, or wooded parts of your yard, especially in shaded, humid areas.

3. Bite Marks or Itching

If you or your pets are having mysterious bites, redness, or itching, ticks may already be present. Swift action can prevent the spread of diseases like Lyme disease.

Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again.
