Ticks are common around Maroochydore, particularly on blocks backing onto bushland, creek lines and the acreage out toward Buderim, Bli Bli and the hinterland, and they are most active through the warmer months and after rain. Finding ticks on pets after a walk, or noticing them in long grass along the back fence, is usually what prompts a call.
Call 07 3543 7773 and tell us where you are finding them, whether that is on pets, in the yard, or both, and what sort of block you are on. The crew we book will check long grass, leaf litter, garden edges, under decks and the shaded areas around Maroochydore properties where ticks wait for something to brush past, along with kennels and the spots pets spend time.
Keeping grass short near the house, clearing leaf litter and keeping a gap between bush and mown grass all help alongside a booked visit, and the crew will point out the parts of your yard that are doing the most harm. For anything to do with a tick bite on a person, see a doctor, and for urgent medical help call 000; the crew deals with the yard, not the medical side.

Ticks come back from surrounding bushland over time, so some households book a visit ahead of the warmer months each year. Call 07 3543 7773 to book a local team for Maroochydore and get pricing before the crew heads out.
