Description
Ticks are a serious exterior pest because they can carry disease and are often found near wooded edges, tall grass, brush, leaf litter, and shaded yard areas. Pets, wildlife, and people can all bring ticks into contact with the home.
Royal Pest Management provides tick inspections and treatment options in Grand Rapids and throughout West Michigan. If ticks are showing up around your yard or property, we can help reduce activity in the areas where people and pets spend time.
Why Do I Have Ticks?
Ticks are often brought close to homes by pets, deer, rodents, wildlife, tall grass, brush, leaf litter, and wooded edges. They are most common in shaded, protected areas where people and pets spend time outdoors.
A tick problem does not always start inside the home. Many issues begin in the yard or along the edges of the property.
How Do I Get Rid of Ticks?
Tick control focuses on the outdoor areas where ticks are most likely to wait for a host. Royal Pest Management can inspect the property and treat high-risk areas such as wooded edges, tall grass, brush lines, and shaded resting spots.
The goal is to reduce tick activity where your family and pets are most likely to come into contact with them.
How Do I Keep Ticks Away?
To help keep ticks away, keep grass trimmed, reduce leaf litter, manage brushy edges, and keep pets on a veterinarian-approved tick prevention plan.
Seasonal exterior service can help reduce tick pressure during the times of year when activity is highest.
