Summer in Newcastle is a great time to enjoy the outdoors with your pets. However, it’s also important to protect them from ticks, which can be a serious health threat. Ticks are small, blood-sucking parasites that can attach to your pet’s skin and transmit diseases. If left untreated, tick bites can cause serious illness and even death in pets. That’s why tick pest control is so important. Read on to learn more about protecting your pets from these blood-sucking pests.
The Danger of Ticks
Ticks are small, blood-sucking parasites that can attach to your pet’s skin and transmit diseases. Ticks are dangerous for pets in Australia because they can transmit a variety of diseases. When a tick bites your pet, it can inject saliva into the wound, which can contain harmful bacteria and other pathogens. These pathogens can cause serious illness in pets, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis. In some cases, tick bites can even be fatal to pets.
Protecting your pets from ticks is important, as the diseases they can transmit can be difficult to treat. Symptoms of tick-borne illnesses in pets can include fever, loss of appetite, joint pain, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, these illnesses can cause serious complications and even death.

That’s why we offer tick pest control services to help eliminate ticks from your property and prevent them from returning. Our team of trained professionals uses safe and effective methods to eliminate ticks and keep your pets safe.
Our tick pest control services begin with an inspection of your property to identify areas where ticks are likely to be found. We then use targeted treatments and exclusion methods to eliminate the ticks and prevent them from coming back. We also provide ongoing maintenance services to ensure that your property stays tick-free.
In addition to our tick control services, there are some simple steps you can take to protect your pets from ticks. Use a tick preventative medication on your pets, as recommended by your veterinarian. Avoid walking your pet in tall grass or areas with many bushes, where ticks are more likely to be found. You can also regularly check your pet for ticks, especially after they’ve been outside. Ticks are small, so use a fine-toothed comb or your fingers to feel for any bumps on your pet’s skin. If you find a tick, carefully remove it using tweezers or a tick removal tool.
