Expert Tick Prevention in North Texas
Ticks may be tiny, but they pose a significant risk to both humans and pets. These blood-feeding parasites can transmit serious diseases, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. At Home Run Pest & Termite Control, we specialize in effective tick prevention and removal, ensuring your home and yard remain tick-free. Our team provides thorough inspections, eco-friendly treatments, and expert guidance to keep ticks away for good.
How We Handle Tick Infestations
Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection
Our process begins with a detailed inspection of your home and yard to identify tick hotspots. We focus on wooded areas, tall grasses, and pet-frequented spaces where ticks are most likely to thrive.
Step 2: Yard Treatment & Habitat Reduction
Since ticks thrive in grassy and wooded environments, we recommend landscaping modifications to reduce their habitat. This includes keeping the grass trimmed, removing leaf litter, and creating dry barriers between wooded areas and your lawn. Additionally, we apply eco-friendly tick treatments to high-risk areas.
Step 3: Targeted Tick Barrier Application
We create a protective barrier around your home’s perimeter to prevent ticks from entering. Using safe and effective treatments, we reduce the risk of ticks attaching to your family and pets.
Step 4: Pet Protection Recommendations
Ticks often hitch rides on pets. We provide recommendations on veterinarian-approved tick preventatives, such as collars, topical treatments, and tick shampoos, to help keep your furry friends safe.
Step 5: Ongoing Prevention & Monitoring
Our team offers regular monitoring and maintenance treatments to ensure long-term tick prevention. We educate homeowners on best practices for keeping ticks at bay year-round.
Fun Facts About Ticks
Preventing Tick Infestations
Maintain a Tidy Yard
Trim grass, clear brush, and remove leaf litter to minimize tick-friendly environments around your home.
Create a Barrier Between Wooded Areas and Your Lawn
Use wood chips or gravel to create a dry buffer zone that discourages tick migration from wooded areas to your yard.
Remove Rodents and Wildlife
Ticks often latch onto rodents and other animals. Reducing wildlife activity near your home can help lower tick populations.
Use Tick Repellents
Apply tick repellents to your skin and clothing when spending time outdoors. For pets, consult your veterinarian about tick prevention products.
Inspect Yourself and Pets
After outdoor activities, check yourself and your pets for ticks, especially in hidden areas like underarms, behind ears, and between toes.
