Ticks are a real concern for many homes in Caboolture, especially acreage blocks and houses backing onto bush, creeks or paddocks. They wait in long grass, leaf litter and low shrubs for a passing animal or person, and dogs are often the first to bring them home. Warm, wet weather tends to bring them out in bigger numbers.
When you call, we ask about the block, where the pets spend time and what borders the property. The crew we book treats the zones where ticks are most likely: the edges of lawns where they meet bush or paddock, under hedges and shrubs, along fence lines, around kennels and dog runs, and shady spots where leaf litter builds up. On larger blocks, they focus on the areas around the house that people and pets use every day.
You can help by keeping grass short around the house, clearing leaf litter and cutting back overhanging shrubs and long grass along fence lines. Keep dogs and cats on a tick product from your vet and check them after walks in the bush. If you find a tick on a person or pet and are unsure what to do, speak to a doctor or your vet. The crew can suggest how often to repeat the yard treatment based on what they see.
