WHY CONTROL TICKS?
When ticks invade your yard, they bring more than just irritation—they bring real risk.
These small parasites spread harmful illnesses such as Lyme disease, making professional tick control a smart way to shield your loved ones and pets.
Warming weather and increased rainfall create ideal conditions for tick populations to surge. Taking prompt action helps ensure your yard stays safe and enjoyable for everyone.
1. Reclaim Your Outdoor Space
Don’t let ticks limit your time outdoors. Professional tick control helps keep your yard clear, so you can enjoy the fresh air without constant worry.
2. Protect Your Health
Ticks can harm people and pets alike, making early prevention especially important. Preventative treatment greatly reduces the chances of harmful bites and long-term illness.
3. Prevent Infestations
Ticks multiply fast. Early intervention helps prevent widespread infestations that are harder and more expensive to eliminate later on.

Tips for Tick Prevention:
Even after professional treatment, taking preventive steps on your own can help maintain a tick-free environment around your home. Here are a few expert-backed tips to keep ticks at bay:
- 1
Do Daily Tick Checks
Ticks like the black-legged deer tick take 24 hours or more to transmit diseases like Lyme disease. That’s why checking yourself, your children, and pets after spending time outdoors is so important. If you find a tick, gently pull it out with precision tweezers and wash the skin with mild soap and water. - 2
Dress Smart Outdoors
When outdoors in grassy or wooded spots, opt for long-sleeved shirts and full-length pants to reduce exposed skin. Clothing that are light-colored makes ticks easier to spot, and tucking pants into socks adds extra protection. You can also use clothing treated with permethrin for added defense. - 3
Watch Your Pets Closely
Ticks easily hitch rides on dogs and outdoor cats. Regularly inspect your pets—especially after walks or yard play—and consult your vet about tick prevention products. Washing bedding and cleaning play areas also helps reduce exposure. - 4
Maintain a Tick-Unfriendly Yard
Ticks love shady, damp areas. Keep your grass trimmed short, clear out leaf piles, and remove any brush or yard debris where ticks could hide. A tidy yard is your first line of defense.
For long-term protection, it’s smart to pair these habits with a seasonal tick control plan. Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management offers tick prevention strategies designed to work hand-in-hand with your ongoing efforts.

HOW TO SPOT TICK ACTIVITY
Ticks can be hard to spot, but identifying them early is key to keeping your home and yard safe. Look for these signs of tick activity to stay ahead of an infestation:
1. Ticks on Pets or Clothing
After spending time outdoors, check yourself and your pets for small, dark ticks. These pests are often found attached to skin or fur, particularly around the legs or waistline.
2. Ticks in Tall Grass or Brush
Ticks thrive in overgrown areas. Keep an eye out for ticks in tall grass, leaf litter, or wooded parts of your yard, especially in shaded, humid areas.
3. Bite Marks or Itching
If you or your pets are having mysterious bites, redness, or itching, ticks may already be present. Swift action can prevent the spread of diseases like Lyme disease.
