Pests We Treat

Ticks

Ticks are a significant concern in Boston, as they can transmit diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and anaplasmosis to humans and pets. These tiny arachnids can infest yards, gardens, and homes, putting families and pets at risk. At Beantown Pest Control, our experienced technicians are trained to identify and eliminate tick infestations, and provide preventative measures to keep them from coming back.


Ticks are external parasites that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and reptiles. They're attracted to warmth, moisture, and carbon dioxide, and can infest yards, gardens, and homes through various means, including:


  • Wildlife, such as deer and rodents
  • Pets, like dogs and cats
  • Human activity, like hiking and gardening
  • Used furniture and equipment


Our approach to tick control is comprehensive and multi-faceted. We use a combination of non-chemical and chemical methods to eliminate tick infestations, including:



  • Yard treatments to eliminate ticks and prevent re-infestation
  • Perimeter treatments to prevent ticks from entering homes and buildings
  • Tick tube installations to target tick habitats
  • Education on tick prevention and removal techniques
