Tick Control Service
Shield Point Pest Control provides safe, seasonal yard treatments to protect your family and pets from dangerous black-legged ticks and tick-borne illnesses in Hamilton and the GTA.
Expert Tick Control & Yard Treatments
Ticks are one of the most concerning outdoor pests because they are primary carriers of serious health threats, most notably Lyme disease. Black-legged (deer) ticks and dog ticks thrive in tall grass, shrubs, leaf litter, and wooded edges surrounding your property. They don't jump or fly; instead, they "quest" by waiting on vegetation to latch onto you, your children, or your pets as they brush by.
At Shield Point Pest Control, we understand that you want to enjoy your backyard without fear. Our specialized tick control services focus on treating the exterior of your property. We create a robust protective barrier around your yard using safe, effective, and pet-friendly treatments that drastically reduce tick populations.
Why Fast Tick Treatment Is Crucial
Lyme disease cases are rising rapidly across Ontario. A tick needs to be attached for 24-36 hours to transmit the disease. By proactively treating your yard during the spring, summer, and early fall, you break the tick breeding cycle and minimize the risk of bites before they happen.
Signs You Need Professional Tick Control
- Finding ticks attached to your dogs or cats after they play in the yard
- Discovering ticks on your clothing or skin after gardening or mowing
- Your property borders a wooded area, ravine, or has thick, overgrown vegetation
- Frequent sightings of wildlife (like deer, mice, or raccoons) which carry ticks into your yard
- Living in a known high-risk area for Lyme disease and black-legged ticks
Our Tick Treatment & Prevention Process
Tick control is all about targeted outdoor management. We focus on the areas where ticks live and breed to establish a tick-free zone around your home.
- Property Inspection: We identify tick habitats, such as tall grasses, shaded areas, leaf piles, and transition zones between lawns and woods.
- Targeted Yard Spraying: We apply professional-grade, pet-safe liquid barrier treatments to shrubs, lower tree branches, and the perimeter of your lawn.
- Seasonal Maintenance: Ticks are active from spring through fall. We offer recurring seasonal treatments to maintain a strong protective barrier year-round.
- Habitat Modification Advice: We provide expert tips on landscaping adjustments (like keeping grass short and clearing debris) to make your yard less inviting to ticks.
