About Our Tick Extermination Service for your Yard
Inspection and Assessment
Effective tick control begins with a thorough inspection of your outdoor space. Our technicians evaluate your landscape to identify areas where ticks are likely to live and reproduce, including wooded edges, tall grass, dense vegetation, leaf litter, and areas frequently visited by wildlife.
We asses these factors in combination with environmental conditions, and other elements that may be attracting ticks to your property. Based on our findings we’ll give you a customized quote to effectively treat your yard to exterminate existing tick populations, with a plan for repeat visits as needed.
Prevention and Long-Term Protection
Many homeowners ask us, “Can exterminators get rid of ticks?” When you choose Westfort, the answer is always yes. Professional tick control treatments can significantly reduce tick populations when correctly applied and combined with preventative measures.
Our tick extermination service focuses on treating the areas where ticks live and travel in your yard. We apply targeted treatments to shrubs, trees, bushes, and garden spaces (excluding vegetable, fruit and herb plants) and all other high-risk locations around your property. By treating these zones strategically, we can help reduce tick populations and limit future activity.
Prevention, Monitoring, and Exclusion
Tick control doesn’t stop after treatment. To help prevent reinfestation, we’ll provide recommendations for reducing tick habitats around your property. Our goal is to provide lasting protection and help keep your outdoor spaces safer for your family, guests, and pets.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Protecting your Family and Pets from Ticks
We know the risk of tick bites, so we provide all our clients with preventative steps they can take now to prevent complications arising from tick bites. Here are some key facts for protecting your family against ticks:
Tick Bites Are Often Painless
Detecting tick bites can be very tricky as you’ll often not feel them. Make sure you’re doing thorough inspections after time spent outdoors.
Regularly Cut Your Lawn
Ticks prefer overgrown conditions. Keeping your grass short, and vegetation around your property maintained is a good way to protect from ticks staying in your yard, especially after a professional tick extermination treatment.
Limit Wildlife Activity
Deer, rodents, raccoons, and other wildlife can transport ticks onto your property. Reducing attractants such as accessible food sources and shelter can help minimize tick populations in your yard.
Risks of Tick-Borne Disease and Illnesses
Lyme Disease
Black-legged ticks (deer ticks) are the primary carriers of Lyme disease in Ontario. Symptoms of Lyme disease can include fatigue, fever, headaches, muscle aches, joint pain, and a bullseye-shaped rash around the bite site. Untreated Lyme disease can lead to more serious neurological, cardiac, and joint-related complications, so it’s important that it is caught early. Don’t ignore symptoms if you believe that you or a loved one has had interactions with a tick.
Other Harmful Pathogens
Ticks can carry harmful pathogens, including bacteria and viruses that may cause disease. The risk of disease transmission increases the longer a tick remains attached to its host. As ticks feed on blood from humans, pets, wildlife, birds, and other animals, there may be bacteria that is transferred from host to host due to tick activity. Make sure to always visit a doctor after a serious tick bite so that any potential complications are tackled early.
