GETTING RID OF TICKS QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY

USING PROFESSIONAL GRADE TRAPS

We use industry tested tick preparations such as traps and monitors to help identify where these parasites are nesting and hiding in your living space. Careful consideration is taken to ensure that this is done

effectively throughout the treatment.

USING PROFESSIONAL GRADE INSECTICIDES

Professional grade insecticides are at least TWICE as potent. These are different to consumer grade variants. When used effectively they provide an effective treatment against tick activity.

INSPECTING AND MONITORING THOROUGHLY

Inspecting and monitoring the premises is very important as we zone in on activity. Monitoring the consumption of insecticides and ensuring the treatments stay effective means your problem is solved quicker.

Q: BEST CONTROL METHOD?

A tailored approach is best. Factors include the length of the infestation, severity of the problem and various other factors. Heat treatments are just as good as spray treatments or a combination of both.

Q: FIRST SIGNS OF ACTIVITY?

Normally the first signs are when people in a household start getting bitten. Bites are not usually found straight away as ticks are likely to cause irritation to pets first. Other signs may also be noticing spots of blood on lighter coloured sheets.

Q: COST TO GET PEST CONTROL?

Treatment prices depend of whether sprays or a heat treatment is required. Once the level of activity is inspected a quote can be supplied.

Q: HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE?

The tick lifespan is between 2-3 years. However, the average tick lifespan truly depends on a number of factors, from the species of the tick to the very life cycle of the tick. Ticks are incredibly sensitive to their external environments and so humidity, temperature levels and moisture levels will dramtically shorten or extend a ticks lifespan.

Q: HOW QUICKLY DO THEY BREED?

A female tick simply deposits her eggs in a given location. She will simply attach a sticky cluster of tiny eggs to a blade of grass, a leaf, or other relatively soft spots like a little patch of soil. Then the tick abandons the eggs.
Although tick nests may include hundreds or even thousands of eggs, they’re quite small. A cluster of tick eggs is about an inch or less across. Hatching occurs after 2 to 8 weeks.

Q: HOW TO PREVENT THEM?

Thoroughly check pets regularly. Keep your home well vacuumed regularly. Seal cracks and crevices over time to stop activity coming into your home from neighbouring properties.
