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.

Tips to prevent fleas & ticks
Fast reactions might be needed when a tick does bite. So taking steps to prevent them can save a lot of worry. Here are a few of the easy things you can do:
Remove entry points
Checking your home for possible pest entry points is a great first step. You can:
- Locate and fill any cracks, gaps, or holes in walls, skirting boards, doorframes, and window frames
- Install screens and repair holes, gaps, or looseness
- Seal the bottom of doors with a draft stopper
Pet care
We love our pets, so adding to their care routine should be easy. If you don’t already, you should:
- Check pets regularly for signs of ticks, especially between toes, inside ears, and under collars
- Treat pets with vet-approved flea and tick preventers
- Wash bedding regularly with hot water
- Keep kennels and beds clean and dry with ample airflow
Garden maintenance
Taking care of your yard prevents pests and makes it a nicer place for you. So, don’t forget to:
- Regularly mow lawns
- Remove and control weeds
- Prune large shrubs to reduce inner humidity
- Reduce and remove mulch, leaf litter, and other debris
