Ticks in Docklands are less common than in the outer suburbs, but they still turn up in courtyard gardens, along the waterfront promenade and in the grassed areas of nearby parks where pets are walked. Pets that spend time in these areas or a family that walks near the harbour are often the first to notice a tick problem, either on an animal or brought back indoors on clothing. Properties closer to the larger parks and gardens around the inner city tend to see more tick activity than those in the middle of a built-up block, particularly where a courtyard backs onto a mature garden bed.
When you call 03 7053 9856 about ticks, tell us where you have noticed them, such as in a courtyard garden bed or after a walk near the promenade. That helps the crew focus treatment on the areas ticks are actually using rather than the whole property.
A tick control visit in Docklands usually treats courtyard gardens, planter boxes and any grassed common areas around the building. The crew we book will also point out areas worth keeping trimmed or cleared, since ticks favour longer grass and leaf litter over open, well-kept garden beds. Ticks are most active through the warmer months, so a property near green space tends to see more activity at that time of year. Where pets are involved, the crew will also point out the areas most worth checking after a walk, since ticks are often found around the ears and collar first.
