Our Comprehensive Tick Control Services
Our tick control services are designed to provide comprehensive protection, addressing existing infestations and preventing future problems. We use a multi-faceted approach that targets ticks at every stage of their life cycle, ensuring effective and long-lasting results.
Detailed Property Inspection
Our first step is a thorough inspection of your property to identify tick hiding places, breeding grounds, and potential entry points. We'll assess the type of vegetation, moisture levels, and other factors that contribute to tick infestations.
Identifying Tick Habitats
Ticks thrive in areas with tall grass, dense vegetation, and leaf litter. We'll pinpoint these areas on your property and develop a targeted treatment plan to eliminate ticks in these habitats. We'll also look for shade, as ticks prefer shady areas to avoid desiccation.
Targeted Treatment Plans
Based on our inspection findings, we'll develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns. Our treatment plans utilize a combination of methods, including:
Larvicides
Larvicides target tick larvae, preventing them from maturing into adults. This is an effective way to control tick populations before they become a problem.
Acaricides
Acaricides are pesticides specifically designed to kill ticks. We use safe and effective acaricides that target ticks without harming beneficial insects or other wildlife. These are applied strategically in areas where ticks are most likely to be found.
Vegetation Management
Controlling vegetation is an important part of tick control. We'll advise you on how to maintain your lawn and landscaping to reduce tick habitats. This may include mowing your lawn regularly, trimming shrubs and trees, and removing leaf litter.
Preventative Measures
In addition to treating existing infestations, we'll implement preventative measures to keep ticks from returning. These measures include:
Creating a Tick-Safe Zone
We'll help you create a tick-safe zone around your home by removing leaf litter, clearing tall grass, and creating a barrier of wood chips or gravel between your lawn and wooded areas.
Applying Tick Repellents
We can apply tick repellents to your lawn and landscaping to keep ticks away. These repellents are safe for humans and pets but deadly to ticks.
Wildlife Management
Wildlife, such as deer and rodents, can carry ticks onto your property. We'll advise you on how to manage wildlife populations to reduce the risk of tick infestations. This may include installing fences or using humane traps to remove wildlife from your property.
We're delighted to extend our pest control services to neighboring communities, ensuring that residents in Evanston and Oak Park can also benefit from our expertise. Whether it's spider removal or termite treatment, our commitment remains unwavering in delivering effective and reliable solutions. We believe everyone deserves to live in a pest-free environment, and we're here to make that a reality for more homes and businesses.

Experiencing Tick Bites
If you or your family members are experiencing tick bites, it's a sign that ticks are present on your property. Tick bites can cause itching, redness, and swelling. In some cases, tick bites can also transmit diseases, such as Lyme disease. Therefore, it's important to seek tick control measures to keep family safe.

Ticks thrive in these environments, so it's important to take preventative measures to protect your property.

Ensuring the stability of your home environment is just as crucial as its physical appearance; that's why our services extend to rodent control to keep your home safe from pests.

More about ticks!
So, you think you might have a tick problem? Well, let's dive a bit deeper into these tiny terrors and see if we can't arm you with the knowledge to make the right call. Ticks are not insects; they're arachnids, which means they're more closely related to spiders and mites. Gross, right? But it's important to know these things!.
Where do ticks live
Ticks live outdoors in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas, or even on animals. Many people get ticks in their own yard or neighborhood. Ticks can't fly or jump, but many ticks wait for hosts in a telltale pose: holding onto leaves and grass by their third and fourth pair of legs. They hold their first pair of legs outstretched, ready to climb on to a host.
Why ticks are dangerous
Ticks are dangerous because they can transmit diseases through their bites. Tick-borne diseases can cause a range of symptoms, from mild flu-like symptoms to serious neurological problems. Some common tick-borne diseases include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis.
Ticks can survive for a long time
Depending on the species, some ticks can in fact survive for extended periods without a host. This survival ability is partly dependent on the tick's life stage, with adult ticks generally being able to survive longer without feeding than nymphs or larvae. Some species have also developed physiological adaptations that allow them to conserve moisture and energy, further prolonging their survival time.

We understand some people fear pests and we aim to deliver our pest services with care. We want to get rid of these critters as much as you do, and ensure these problems do not come back. When you have other pest issues, be sure to inquire about our cockroach control services as well.
