We love the warm and humid weather. But so does one tiny terror pest—ticks. Pets usually pick up ticks and bring them inside, where they quickly multiply. But with our help, families can keep their loved ones safe from these dangerous pests.
At OzPest Solutions, we use treatment and control methods that are safe for you, your pets, and the local environment.
Once ticks get into your home, it can be frustrating and nearly impossible to remove them without help. But learning some more about these pests can help you stay on top of them in the future.

Oval and flat with reddish-brown colouring and eight legs. They are initially 3 mm long, growing to 12 mm and turn grey as they feed.
A grey body with two pairs of brown legs and one pair of white legs. Before feeding, they are around 3 mm long, growing up to 10 mm.
Thanks to their appearance and biology, you might not see or even notice a tick or its bite until symptoms start. Their small size and dark colour make them hard to see, especially in long grass where they usually dwell.
Then, once a pet picks the tick up, it’s hard to see amongst their fur. The tick’s saliva acts as a numbing agent, so when they bite through the carrier’s skin (human or pet), the victim won’t feel it.
