Ticks move into Gold Coast yards from bushland, long grass and reserve land nearby, then wait on grass tips or low shrubs for a person or pet to brush past. Anyone with a yard backing onto bushland or a pet that spends time outdoors is more likely to run into them, especially over the warmer months.
When you call, we ask about your yard, whether you have pets and where ticks have been found, on people, pets or just moving through the grass. The crew we book treats grassed areas, garden beds, fence lines and the edges of the yard where it meets bushland or a neighbouring block.
Keeping grass short and garden beds tidy around a Gold Coast property makes it harder for ticks to wait in the yard, and the crew we book can point out the spots on your property most likely to hold ticks after a visit. Pets that roam should still be checked regularly, even after treatment. Visitors with dogs are also worth mentioning when you call, since ticks often move onto a property through a pet that has been outdoors.
