High Desert Pest Control
Tick Control
Ticks come in on pets and wildlife and settle into yards with brush and tall grass. They carry disease, so getting them under control matters for both your family and your animals.
Call Now — (442) 437-8396How do you get rid of ticks in your yard?
Treat where ticks live: brushy edges, tall grass and the perimeter of the home, on a recurring schedule through the active season from spring to early fall. Pair it with a vet-recommended tick preventive for your pets, since pets and wildlife are how ticks reach a yard in the first place.
Signs of a tick problem
- Ticks found on pets or family members
- Activity in brushy areas, tall grass, and yard edges
- Pets scratching or showing irritation after time outside
How we handle it
We treat the yard zones where ticks live and the perimeter of the home, and recommend a recurring schedule during the active season to keep numbers down.

How ticks get inside
- Carried in on pets after walks in brush or open desert
- Drop off wildlife (rabbits, rodents, coyotes) traveling through the yard
- Climb into the yard from neighboring untreated lots
- Travel on outdoor cushions, blankets, and gear brought inside
When they're most active
Tick activity in the High Desert is highest from spring through early fall. Peak risk is during warm months when pets are outside longest and wildlife is active. Even one untreated season can establish a population in a yard.

Questions about tick control
Are there ticks in the High Desert?+
Yes. Ticks live in brush and tall grass and come into yards on pets and on wildlife like rabbits, rodents and coyotes. Activity is highest from spring through early fall, and one untreated season can be enough to establish them in a yard.
How do I protect my dog from ticks?+
Use a vet-recommended tick preventive year-round, check your pet after time in brushy areas, and keep grass and shrubs trimmed along walkways. Treating the yard and the perimeter of the home during the active season keeps the numbers down where your pets spend their time.
