Tick Control Services in Austin, TX

Professional Tick Control for Austin Homes

Ticks can be more than just an annoyance—they can pose serious health risks to both people and pets. If you’ve noticed ticks in your yard or are concerned about tick bites, Alta Pest Control is here to help with our Outdoor Package. Whether you’re worried about deer ticks, which can carry Lyme disease, or any other type of tick, our service is designed to control ticks effectively, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces safely from March to October.

Why Tick Control Matters in Austin

Austin’s warm climate creates the perfect environment for ticks to thrive. These pests are most commonly found in shady, grassy areas, and they can latch onto people, pets, or even wildlife passing through your yard. Tick bites can transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme disease, which is commonly associated with deer ticks, and other illnesses such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. That’s why controlling ticks is essential for protecting your family’s health and safety.

Our Tick Control Process

At Alta Pest Control, we take a thorough approach to controlling ticks. Our process includes:

  1. Property Inspection – We start by inspecting your yard to find the areas where ticks are most likely to hide, such as tall grass, leaf piles, and shady spots.
  2. Monthly Fogging – From March to October, we’ll treat your yard with a monthly fogging service that targets ticks at every stage of their lifecycle. This regular treatment ensures that we keep the tick population under control throughout the active season.
  3. Focused Treatments – We focus on high-risk areas like the edges of your property, shrubs, and other overgrown spaces where ticks thrive. By targeting these zones, we make sure that your yard is safe and tick-free.

Our tick control treatments are family and pet-friendly but tough on ticks. You’ll be able to enjoy your yard without worrying about tick bites or harmful chemicals.

Deer Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases

Deer ticks are one of the most common types of ticks that people worry about, and for good reason. These small ticks are known to spread Lyme disease, a serious illness that can lead to long-term health problems if left untreated. While deer ticks are more common in northern states, they can still be found in Austin. Our tick control treatments target all types of ticks, including deer ticks, to keep your yard and family protected from potential tick-borne diseases.

How Our Outdoor Package Protects You

As part of our Outdoor Package, we take care of both ticks and mosquitoes. These pests often live in similar environments, and our monthly fogging treatments from March to October ensure that your yard stays protected from both. With our dual protection, you’ll reduce the risk of tick bites and mosquito-borne diseases while enjoying your outdoor space.

No Winter Treatments for Ticks

During the colder months, ticks become less of an issue. That’s why we don’t offer treatments between November and February—there’s no need! Our focus is on the months when ticks are active, ensuring that you’re only paying for services when you need them. Once the weather warms up again, we’ll be back on schedule with our monthly treatments to keep ticks and mosquitoes under control.

Regular Treatments for Year-Round Protection

Ticks are a persistent problem in Austin, but with regular monthly treatments from March to October, you can keep your yard tick-free. Our quarterly pest control services are also available to provide year-round protection against other pests. If you notice any issues between scheduled visits, we’ll come out and re-treat your property at no additional cost—part of our Alta Guarantee.

How to Prevent Tick Infestations in Your Yard

While our professional treatments do most of the work, you can take steps to help reduce the chances of a tick infestation:

  • Keep Grass Mowed – Ticks love tall grass, so keep your lawn regularly trimmed to eliminate their hiding spots.
  • Trim Overgrown Shrubs and Plants – Ticks often hide in shaded, overgrown areas. Keeping your yard well-maintained can help reduce the tick population.
  • Remove Leaf Litter – Ticks like to hide in piles of leaves and other yard debris, so keeping your yard clear can make a big difference.
  • Create a Barrier – If your yard is near wooded areas, consider installing a gravel or wood chip barrier to prevent ticks from crossing into your property.
