Ticks on pets or clothing
Ticks can be found attached to pets, clothing, or skin after spending time outdoors, especially in wooded or grassy areas.
Need a tick exterminator?
Ticks can turn your yard into a health risk during the warmer months, putting families and pets at risk of illnesses like Lyme disease. Terminix Tick Control can help reduce tick populations on your property and provide ongoing protection throughout peak tick season.
- Tick activity typically increases in spring and remains high through summer, with some activity extending into early fall, depending on your location.
- Store-bought treatments often miss hidden tick habitats, fail to disrupt breeding cycles, and don’t provide consistent protection against disease-carrying ticks.
- Our tick exterminators use proven treatments to address ticks at every life stage, helping to ensure reliable, long-term control.
Your tick treatment options
Liquid and granular treatment
Our tick control service begins with a comprehensive exterior inspection to identify areas where ticks are most likely to live and spread. Professional-grade sprays and granular treatments can be applied to high-risk areas such as tall grass, weeds, overgrown areas, and along the edges of commonly used walking paths to help reduce tick activity where it matters most.

Signs of ticks to look for
Persistent pet scratching or licking
Pets may scratch, lick, or chew certain areas more than usual, particularly around the ears, neck, or paws, where ticks often attach.
Tick bites or skin irritation
Small red bumps, irritation, or rashes may appear after being outside. In some cases, bites may go unnoticed at first.
Ticks in yard areas
Ticks can be found in tall grass, leaf litter, along wooded edges, or in shaded areas where they wait for hosts to pass by.

I've had Terminix services for four years, both inside and out and bait stations. Their technicians are very thorough, they take the time to explain things to you and have NO problem if you have a pest issue, coming back and repeating a treatment at no cost. They are quick to respond as well. You don't wait days for a technician to arrive. I had a black widow spider nest on my back fence and called them. They were here the next day. Terminix IS the best!

I called several pest control companies in the area and found that Terminix had the best value and responsiveness for services. I was extremely pleased with the service of Jacob and Jeremiah, who came out immediately the next day to start service at my residence. I strongly and highly recommend Terminix as your next pest control company.

Observed carpenter ants in our finished basement. Went to the website and scheduled an appointment time. Tech called to tell us he was on his way. (Appreciate that tech's phone number was identified as Terminix.) Tech explained what he could, and could not do. In addition to treating for carpenter ants, house was also treated for a yellow jacket issue under our siding. Terminix will be my first call, should I need service again.

My technician Devin is awesome. He informed me the day before he was coming, and what time he’ll arrived. I’ve been using this service for years now to take care of any bugs or insects. They sprayed & inspected the outside and since I’ve been using them, I got a full report after to let me know what was done & if there’s anything else that needs to be done. They never tried to upsell any additional services than what was needed, I don’t have spiders, ants or any insects inside my home. I strongly recommended them

FAQs about tick control
Ticks can carry pathogens that cause serious diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis. These illnesses may cause symptoms such as fever, fatigue, rashes, and, in some cases, long-term heart or neurological complications. When an infected tick bites a person or pet and remains attached, it can transmit these pathogens through its bite.
To prevent ticks, wear long sleeves, long pants, and light-colored clothing to reduce exposure and make them easier to spot. Keep your grass and shrubs trimmed to help limit potential tick habitats. Use EPA-registered repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. These repellents can provide more reliable protection than natural tick repellents, like essential oils. Pet owners should consult a veterinarian for appropriate tick prevention products.
DIY tick control methods often fall short. Popular natural treatments, such as essential oils, are not scientifically proven to be effective and may pose safety risks if misused. Because ticks are difficult to detect and manage, professional treatment is the most reliable option. Terminix tick exterminators are trained to identify tick habitats and help prevent future activity.
Yes, our tick control treatments are applied with pets and families in mind. Before treatment begins, you’ll need to move outdoor pet bowls and furniture out of the way, and our technicians will avoid sensitive areas such as water sources and gardens. All products are applied according to label instructions and industry best practices, ensuring treatments are used responsibly. Your tick exterminator can also provide guidance on when it’s safe for pets to re-enter treated areas after service.
Our tick control treatments begin working immediately and provide protection that lasts weeks. It may take several days to notice a difference in the tick population on your property.
The cost of tick control can vary based on factors like property size and the level of tick activity. Terminix provides a full-yard solution designed to deliver thorough, long-lasting protection, helping to reduce future infestations and potentially saving you money over time.
