How do I know if I need tick removal?

There’s more to tick removal than waiting to spot a tick on yourself or your pets. If you recognise any of the following waring signs, professional tick control may be the best solution.

• Symptoms: If you develop symptoms such as itchiness, redness, swelling, or pain at the site of a suspected tick bite.
• Visible Tick: If you can see a tick attached to your skin, it’s important to remove it promptly.
• Tick-Borne Disease Symptoms: If you experience symptoms like fever, rash, fatigue, or muscle aches after a potential tick exposure, seek medical attention.
• Recent Outdoor Activity: If you’ve been hiking, camping, or spending time in tall grass, forests, or bushland where ticks are prevalent.

Tick season corresponds to the ticklifecycle. Tick larvae (grass ticks) are common in autumn and winter. Adult ticks are more commonly found in spring and summer. All life cycles of tick require blood for feeding, making it important you stay on top of tick control all-year round.
