Why Tick Control Matters

Ticks are disease vectors. In Arizona, the brown dog tick transmits Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a serious, potentially fatal illness if not treated early. The Arizona Department of Health Services has documented RMSF outbreaks in Arizona communities, making tick control a genuine public health issue. Ticks also transmit ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and tick-borne relapsing fever.

The brown dog tick is unique among ticks because it thrives indoors. Unlike other tick species that require outdoor habitats, brown dog ticks can establish populations inside your home, in kennels, cracks in walls, furniture, and pet bedding. A single female lays up to 5,000 eggs, making indoor infestations difficult to control without professional treatment targeting every life stage.

Our Tick Control Process

Inspection

Our state-licensed technicians inspect your home, yard, pet areas, and kennel for tick activity. We identify the species, locate harborage areas, and assess the severity of the infestation.

Interior Treatment

For indoor tick infestations, we treat baseboards, cracks, crevices, pet resting areas, kennels, and wall voids where ticks hide and lay eggs.

Yard Treatment

Outdoor areas where pets rest and play are treated, focusing on shaded areas, tall grass, leaf litter, and vegetation along property edges.

Pet Area Focus

Dog runs, kennel areas, and outdoor pet bedding zones receive targeted treatment to eliminate the areas where ticks concentrate.

Follow-Up and Monitoring

Tick eggs take weeks to hatch, and follow-up treatments ensure newly emerged ticks are eliminated before they can reproduce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ticks dangerous in Arizona?

Yes. The brown dog tick transmits Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which can be fatal without early antibiotic treatment. The Arizona Department of Health Services has documented RMSF outbreaks in Arizona communities. Tick control is a genuine health protection measure.

Can ticks live inside my house?

Yes. The brown dog tick is the only tick species that can complete its entire life cycle indoors. It infests kennels, cracks in walls, baseboards, and pet bedding. Indoor tick infestations can grow rapidly, a single female lays up to 5,000 eggs.

How much does tick control cost in Phoenix?

Cost depends on whether the infestation is indoors, outdoors, or both, and the size of the affected area. Call (602) 944-0099 for an honest assessment and quote.

Is tick treatment safe for my dogs?

Yes. We treat the environment your dog lives in, floors, baseboards, yards, and pet areas, using products safe for households with pets. Your veterinarian handles the direct-on-pet tick prevention. The two approaches work together for the best results.

How long does it take to eliminate a tick infestation?

Indoor tick infestations may require 2-4 weeks of treatment and follow-up because tick eggs hatch over time. Outdoor tick control shows results faster. Combining professional treatment with pet prevention is the most effective approach for lasting results.

Why do I still have ticks even though I treat my dog for fleas and ticks?

Pet medication protects your dog, but it will not stop ticks already living in your home. The brown dog tick, the most common species in Phoenix, is the only tick that completes its full life cycle indoors, infesting baseboards, cracks, furniture, and pet bedding. A single female can lay up to 5,000 eggs, so the structure itself needs treatment, not just the pet.

Do you treat the yard as well as the inside of the house for ticks?

Yes. Our tick control treats the interior, the yard, and pet areas like kennels together, since ticks move between all three. Treating only indoors or only the yard lets ticks reestablish from the untreated area. This whole-property approach is aimed at breaking the tick life cycle rather than just knocking down what you can see.
