Getting Rid of Ticks
Suggested professional services can vary based on multiple factors, including the severity of the issue, property type and size, the length of the issue, and more. Below are common services that may be used for this pest issue.
Barrier Treatments
Barrier treatments involve applications to tall shaded areas, structures, or other areas where ticks rest during the day. These treatments create a barrier that repels or kills ticks on contact.
Tick Control Treatments
Professional pest control companies can apply insecticides specifically designed to target ticks. These treatments may be applied to vegetation, leaf litter, and other areas where ticks are likely to hide.
Habitat Modification
This involves modifying your yard to make it less hospitable to ticks. Professional pest control services may recommend measures such as clearing leaf litter, trimming tall grass and shrubs, and creating a buffer zone between wooded areas and your lawn.
Tick Tubes
Tick tubes are small cardboard tubes filled with treated cotton balls that attract mice, which are carriers of ticks. When mice take the treated cotton back to their nests, it kills the ticks on the mice and prevents them from reproducing. Professional pest control services can strategically place tick tubes around your property to help reduce tick populations.

Pest Prevention Tips
Discover tips that can assist in diminishing or averting recurring pest problems in your home or business.
- When in tick-prone areas, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks, and closed-toe shoes. Tuck your pants into your socks to create a barrier against ticks.
- Apply an EPA-approved tick repellent to exposed skin and clothing. Products containing DEET, picaridin, or permethrin can be effective. Follow the product’s instructions carefully.
- When hiking or walking in the woods, stay on designated trails to reduce your exposure to ticks. Avoid brushing against vegetation and tall grasses.
- After spending time outdoors, thoroughly check your body and clothing for ticks. Pay special attention to areas like the groin, armpits, scalp, and behind the ears. Use a mirror or ask someone to help check hard-to-see areas.
- Showering within two hours of coming indoors can help wash away unattached ticks. Use a washcloth or loofah to aid in tick removal.
- Pets can carry ticks indoors. After outdoor activities, inspect your pets for ticks and consider using tick preventatives recommended by your veterinarian.
- Permethrin-treated clothing and gear can be highly effective in repelling ticks. You can purchase pre-treated clothing or treat your own following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- If you have a yard or garden, create tick-safe zones by keeping lawns well-maintained, removing leaf litter, and placing a barrier of wood chips or gravel between wooded areas and your lawn.
- Keep trees and shrubs in your yard well-pruned to allow more sunlight and reduce the humidity that ticks prefer.
- If you find a tick attached to your skin, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp it as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Gently pull upward with steady, even pressure. Avoid twisting or crushing the tick. After removal, clean the bite area with soap and water and apply an antiseptic.
- If you’re in an area with a known risk of tick-borne diseases, consider saving the tick in a sealed container or bag. This can help with identification and testing if you develop symptoms after a tick bite.
- If infestations are severe, you might consider using a professional. Connect with an agent! 1 (845) 315-4336
