How does tick control work?
Tick control works by treating the places ticks wait for a host: long grass, garden edges, leaf litter, shaded areas and the spots where pets rest. Ticks do not jump or fly; they climb vegetation and grab on as a dog, cat or person brushes past.
We treat the yard edges, garden beds, kennels, runs and pet resting areas outside, and the pet sleeping spots inside if ticks are turning up in the house. Combined with a vet tick product on your pets and keeping grass short, a tick treatment cuts the number of ticks your animals pick up at home.

Signs of ticks in yard areas and the house
Ticks are small and slow, so most people find them on their pets first.
Ticks on pets
Small grey or brown lumps attached around the head, ears, neck and between the toes.
After walks
Ticks found after walks through long grass, bushland or parks.
Ticks in house
Ticks crawling on pet beds, skirting or walls near where pets sleep.
Scratching and licking
Pets fussing at one spot, especially around the face and neck.
Long grass and scrub
Overgrown yard edges, leaf litter and scrub along the fence.
Wildlife visitors
Possums, foxes or bandicoots moving through the yard.
After a trip
Ticks appearing after a holiday on the coast or in the country with pets.
Unwell pet
Wobbly back legs, a change in bark or vomiting needs a vet straight away.
Pet wobbly or off after a tick? Go to the vet now.
A paralysis tick can make pets unwell quickly. If your dog or cat is weak in the back legs, coughing or vomiting, see a vet immediately. We treat the yard afterwards.
Where our tick treatment goes
Tick pest control focuses on the places ticks sit and wait, which are usually close to where your pets spend time.
Long grass and edges
Fence lines, garden edges and overgrown corners.
Shaded areas
Under trees, decks and shrubs where ticks stay moist.
Kennels and runs
Dog kennels, cat runs and outdoor pet areas.
Pet beds inside
Where pets sleep inside, if ticks are turning up there.
Leaf litter
Mulch, leaf piles and garden beds against the house.
Door thresholds
Entry points pets use most, inside and out.
Under the house
Sub floor access where pets or wildlife shelter.
Seasonal repeat
A repeat treatment in warm months where ticks are common.
Tick removal on people: what to do
If a tick is attached to a person, the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy advises freezing it with an ether containing spray from a pharmacy, waiting for it to drop off, and not squeezing or pulling it with fingers, which can inject more saliva.
If you are allergic to ticks, have trouble breathing, or feel unwell after a bite, seek medical help straight away. Our tick treatment is for your yard and home; we do not remove ticks from people or pets.

What sets your tick treatment price
- Size of the yard. Bigger blocks and long fence lines take longer to treat.
- How overgrown it is. Long grass and heavy scrub need more treatment.
- Pet areas. Kennels, runs and several pet resting spots add to the job.
- Inside as well. Treating inside pet areas is added where ticks are turning up.
- Bushland edges. Homes backing onto bush or parks may need a wider treatment.
- Repeat visits. Seasonal repeat treatments can be booked in warm months.
Is tick spray safe for pets, and how long does tick treatment last?
The two questions people ask before booking tick control.
Pets and children
Licensed technicians apply every product exactly as the label directs. Keep pets and children off treated areas until they are dry.
The yard treatment works alongside the tick product your vet recommends for your pets, not instead of it.
How long it lasts
A tick treatment reduces ticks in treated areas for weeks to months, depending on weather and how quickly grass grows back.
Keeping grass short and garden edges tidy makes the treatment last longer.

Tick control questions, answered
Cost, pets, paralysis ticks and what to do after a bite. Ask us anything else directly.
How much does tick control cost in Melbourne?
Every tick job is quoted for free. The price depends on the size of the yard, how overgrown it is and whether pet areas inside are included, and you get it in writing before we start.
Are there paralysis ticks in Melbourne?
The paralysis tick lives mainly along the east coast and reaches eastern Victoria. Dogs that travel to those areas can bring ticks home, so check pets after trips and keep them on a vet tick product.
Why am I finding ticks in house rooms?
Ticks in house rooms usually come in on pets and drop off where they sleep. Treating the yard and pet areas and keeping pets on a tick product stops the cycle.
Can you treat ticks in yard areas only?
Yes. Most tick jobs are yard treatments: long grass, garden edges, shaded areas and pet runs. Inside treatment is only added when ticks are turning up indoors.
How do I remove a tick from a person?
ASCIA advises freezing the tick with an ether containing spray from a pharmacy and letting it drop off, rather than squeezing it. Seek medical help if you are allergic or feel unwell.
Does tick spray from the shop work?
A shop tick spray treats a small area and does not last long. A professional treatment covers the whole yard and pet areas with a product suited to them.

We cover all of metropolitan Melbourne, 7 days a week. Put your suburb in the form or use the suburb checker on this page and we confirm when we call.
