Tick Control
Tick control targets the tall grass, brush, and yard edges where ticks wait to latch onto people and pets.
Regular preventative service helps keep tick populations down through the season, not just after a bite is found.

Signs You Might Have a Problem
- Finding ticks on pets after time outdoors, especially near tall grass or wooded edges
- Tick activity in yard areas bordering brush, woods, or unmown grass
- A family member finds an attached tick after being outside
Our Process
- 01
Inspection of yard-edge areas — tall grass, brush, wood lines — where ticks wait to latch onto a host
- 02
Treatment focused on those transition zones rather than the whole lawn, since that's where ticks actually wait
- 03
Seasonal follow-up service through the periods when tick activity is highest
Ticks in Northwest Arkansas
Ticks are most active in spring, summer, and fall, and in some regions can stay active into milder winter stretches. The CDC recommends removing an attached tick within 24 hours to reduce disease risk — ticks in the U.S. can carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, and other illnesses, so yard-edge prevention matters as much as personal repellent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I find a tick attached to my pet or child?
Remove it as soon as possible using fine-tipped tweezers, pulling straight up without twisting. Removing an attached tick within 24 hours meaningfully lowers the risk of disease transmission. If a rash or fever develops afterward, contact a doctor or vet.
Does yard treatment really cut down on tick bites?
Yes — ticks don't roam far; they wait in vegetation at yard edges for a host to brush past. Treating those specific zones reduces the population before ticks ever get close to the house or a person.
