Wisconsin Tick Control
Ticks are more than just an outdoor nuisance—they can transmit serious diseases, including Lyme disease, that pose risks to both people and pets. Effective tick management requires the right knowledge, products, and application methods to provide lasting protection. Our professional tick control services target ticks where they live and breed, using proven barrier treatments to reduce tick populations and help create a safer outdoor environment for your family and pets.
Take back your yard—no ticks, no worries.

Tick Facts and Prevention
Ticks can vary in color by species, and they have six legs during their larval stage and eight legs during their nymphal and adult stages. Adults can be smaller than a sunflower seed (over 1 cm long after feeding), while larvae can be less than 1 mm.
Common types in Wisconsin include deer (black-legged) tick, lone star tick, and wood (American dog) tick.
The Treatment
Ticks require cautious and thorough treatment. Whether on pets or people, they should be grasped behind the head by tweezers and pulled slowly away from the skin so as not to crush them and release toxic fluids. Treatment and extermination of ticks includes the use of tick control products and chemical applications to repel and eliminate any ticks, eggs and larvae present in various areas of your yard such as ground cover vegetation, areas where the lawn meets the woods, ornamental plantings and other similar shaded or protected areas.
​
The Threats
Ticks can transmit illnesses like Lyme disease, which may lead to rashes, joint pain, chills, fever, and fatigue. They can also carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, a disease associated with symptoms such as fever, nausea, red eyes, joint discomfort, and muscle aches.
​
Prevention Tips
Tick prevention options for your yard require modifying areas of tick habitat including exposing shaded areas to sunlight to reduce moisture, removing protective sites such as heavy leaf litter or thick ground cover around the perimeter of your home and removing protected areas like fallen logs, firewood piles and rock piles.
