Residential Tick Treatment for Anthem Homes and Yards

Ticks travel well with dogs, and a walk around the neighborhood can bring one back to the house. The Arizona Department of Health Services names the brown dog tick as the primary vector of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in Arizona, and notes it can live indoors in walls, carpets and cracks where dogs are present. That is why tick control in Anthem works best when it covers the home and the yard together.
City Wide Pest Control is a family owned company based in Phoenix, and our team has served Arizona homes since 1986. As a tick exterminator in Anthem, we treat the house, the yard and pet areas to interrupt the tick life cycle. Residential service never requires a contract.

  • Why It Matters

Why Ticks Are Worth Addressing

Ticks are more than a nuisance, because they can carry disease. In Arizona, brown dog ticks are the main ones to know, since they are linked to Rocky Mountain spotted fever, an illness that calls for prompt medical care. Ticks can also spread ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis and tick-borne relapsing fever. Dealing with them early protects both your household and your pets.
What sets the brown dog tick apart is that it does not need the outdoors. Where dogs live, it can settle into walls, carpets and cracks, and a female lays a great many eggs, so a few ticks can turn into a crowd. Treatment has to reach every life stage, not just the adults you happen to see.

Tick Control Around Anthem's Trails and Washes

Trail access is part of everyday life here. Many of Anthem’s neighborhood trails run next to or through wash areas, and the community council owns and maintains a 6.3 mile section of the Maricopa Trail, so pets and people can pick up ticks well away from home. University of Arizona Extension adds that pack rat middens are common breeding sites for kissing bugs, harbor mites, ticks and fleas, which makes rodent nests near your property worth checking.
Three homeowners associations manage Anthem’s residential neighborhoods: Parkside, Country Club and The Village. With about 60 acres of turf and more than 20,000 trees maintained by the community council, shade and leaf litter are part of many yards, so we check those spots closely. Whether your home sits on a large lot in Arroyo Grande or in a condo at The Village at Anthem, we shape the plan around your property.

  • Our Method

How We Treat Ticks

Step 1
Inspection
Our licensed technicians start inside, then check the yard, kennels and anywhere pets rest. We identify the species, find where ticks are hiding, and judge how far the problem has spread.
Step 2
Interior Treatment
Inside, we focus on the tight spots ticks favor: along baseboards, in wall voids and crevices, and around pet beds and kennels.
Step 3
Yard Treatment
Outdoors, tick spraying in Anthem yards targets shaded corners, tall grass, leaf litter and plant borders near your pets’ favorite lounging spots.
Step 4
Pet Area Focus
We give extra attention to dog runs, kennels and outdoor bedding spots, because ticks tend to gather there.
Step 5
Follow-Up and Monitoring
Eggs hatch over several weeks, so we schedule follow-up visits to catch newly hatched ticks before they can multiply.

Ticks You May Find Near Anthem

Brown Dog Tick
Rhipicephalus sanguineus
  • High Risk
Reddish-brown and flat when unfed, about 1/8 inch long, then swollen and gray-blue after feeding, reaching up to 1/2 inch. Within Maricopa County, it is the tick people meet most often, and it prefers dogs, though it will also bite humans. It is the only tick able to finish its whole life cycle indoors.

Rocky Mountain Wood Tick
Dermacentor andersoni
  • Low Risk
Brown with pale markings, about 1/4 inch long. It lives at higher elevations north of the Valley and sometimes hitches a ride home on a dog after a hike. In the Rocky Mountain states it is the main spreader of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but in Arizona the brown dog tick takes that role.

  • Moderate Risk
Leathery and oval, grayish, about 1/4 inch. It hides in rodent nests and burrows near houses, often at the desert’s edge, and feeds in a matter of minutes, usually after dark. It is known to spread tick-borne relapsing fever.
