Ticks are small, blood-sucking parasites that are found in Sydney. They are known to carry and transmit harmful diseases. As a result, it is important to take steps to protect yourself and your pets from ticks.
At Bargain Pest Control, we offer a comprehensive tick treatment service to control ticks on your property. Our trained technicians will inspect your property to identify areas where ticks are likely to be found, such as tall grass, leaf litter, and wooded areas. We will then apply a safe and effective treatment to these areas to eliminate any ticks that may be present.
In addition to our tick treatment service, there are several steps you can take to reduce the risk of tick bites. These include:
Keeping your grass mowed and removing leaf litter from your yard.
Wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts when spending time outdoors in areas where ticks may be present.
Using insect repellent containing DEET or permethrin on your skin and clothing.
Checking yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks after spending time outdoors.
If you do find a tick on yourself or a family member, it is important to remove it as soon as possible. There are freezing products available at Chemists and you can use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull it out with steady, even pressure. Do not twist or jerk the tick as this can cause the mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin. Seeking medical advice is recommended.
At Bargain Pest Control, we are committed to helping our customers protect themselves, their families and pets from ticks and other pests. Contact us today to learn more about our tick treatment service and how we can help keep your home and yard tick-free.
