Tick Control

Tick treatment for gardens, kennels, farmyards and compounds where ticks and humans meet.

Ticks wait on grass, shrubs and leaf litter for a passing host, and in Sri Lanka they are a genuine health concern — several species carry disease. Control targets the shaded, vegetated areas where ticks live and drop off.

We treat lawns, shrub borders, fence lines and kennels with a residual acaricide, focusing on the edges where people and pets move. Long grass is cut short first, because ticks cannot survive long in short, dry grass.

For kennels and animal areas, treatment is combined with advice on resting sites: raised sleeping platforms, cleared surrounding vegetation and regular grooming of pets reduce the ticks that reach the family.

What to expect

Grass should be cut and leaf litter cleared shortly before the visit so the treatment reaches the soil line where ticks shelter.

Common questions

Are ticks a problem in urban gardens?

They are more common in gardens beside scrub, marsh or farmland, and wherever stray animals move through. Even one breeding pair of hosts can seed a garden — a treatment plus keeping grass short usually clears it.

What customers say

The technician found the termite trail in the garden before touching the house, treated the nest, and showed me the mud tubes to watch. Eight months on, the monitors are still clear.

They moved our kitchen from monthly spraying to a baiting programme and the difference showed within a fortnight. The service reports after each visit are exactly what our auditor asks for.
