Ticks wait in long grass, leaf litter and bushy garden edges for a passing dog, cat or person. Properties in Mornington Peninsula that back onto bushland, reserves or paddocks, and homes with overgrown back corners, can see ticks on pets after walks or time in the yard. We take the details, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew to treat the outdoor areas.
The crew we book walks the yard to find where ticks are likely to be sheltering. That usually means the edges of the grass, under shrubs, along fence lines, around wood piles and in the shady spots where pets like to lie. They treat those areas and point out spots where trimming or clearing would help.

Keep your grass short and rake up leaf litter before the visit so the crew can see the ground. Keep pets inside while the crew works and until the treated areas are dry. Your vet can advise on tick products for dogs and cats, which should go hand in hand with any yard treatment. If you find a tick on a person, ask a doctor, and call 000 if someone is seriously unwell.
