Let’s face it—finding ticks in your home is unsettling. These tiny pests are more than a nuisance; they can carry diseases like Lyme disease, which puts both your family and pets at risk. At Alta Pest Control, we understand that you want ticks out of your home as quickly and efficiently as possible. We're here to help you keep your home tick-free and your family protected with our premium tick control service.
How Do Ticks Get Into Your House?
Ticks don’t usually come inside on their own. They’re hitchhikers, grabbing onto your pets or clothes while you’re outdoors. After a day in the yard or a walk through tall grass, ticks might make their way into your home. They can drop off into carpets, pet bedding, or furniture. And while they don’t thrive indoors, just having them around is enough to make anyone uneasy.
How to Get Rid of Ticks in the House FAST
When it comes to ticks, we believe in taking care of things both inside and outside your home. Our premium service is designed to tackle the problem from all angles.
1. Indoor Pest Control for Ticks and Other Pests
Even though ticks don’t breed indoors, they can still lurk around in places like your carpets or baseboards after hitching a ride. Our indoor pest control service focuses on these areas, targeting not just ticks but other pests like fleas, which sometimes tag along.
2. Outdoor Tick Fogging (Also Handles Mosquitoes)
Ticks are outdoor pests at heart, which is why our tick fogging is such a crucial part of the solution. We treat your yard to create a protective barrier, keeping ticks (and mosquitoes) from getting close to your home, pets, or family. It’s all about keeping those pests where they belong—far from your home.
Natural Remedies You Can Try at Home
If you’re looking to try something at home first, we get it. Here are a few natural remedies you can try while we handle the heavy lifting:
- Essential Oils: Some people like to use eucalyptus, rosemary, or lavender oils as tick repellents. You can spray these oils around doorways and windows, but be cautious if you have pets since some essential oils can be harmful to them.
- Diatomaceous Earth (DE): This natural powder works by dehydrating ticks on contact. Sprinkle it in areas like carpets or cracks where ticks might hide, and vacuum it up regularly to keep things clean.
- Lemon or Vinegar Sprays: A homemade spray made with lemon juice or vinegar can be used around doorways and windows to help repel ticks. Just make sure your pets don’t come into contact with these sprays, as they can be irritating.
While these methods might offer temporary relief, our premium service is designed to give you long-term peace of mind.
What to do After Treating for Ticks Inside
Along with our treatments, there are a few simple things you can do inside your home to reduce ticks:
1. Treat Your Pets Regularly
Since ticks usually come in on pets, it’s important to stay on top of regular tick prevention treatments. Whether you use spot-on treatments, collars, or oral medications, keeping your pets protected is key to keeping ticks out.
2. Vacuum Often
Ticks can fall off pets and hide in carpets and furniture. Vacuuming regularly—especially in areas where your pets spend time—can help catch any stragglers. Be sure to get the corners and baseboards, too.
3. Wash Pet Bedding and Soft Fabrics
Your pet’s bedding, blankets, and other soft items can become home to ticks. Washing these regularly in hot water and drying them on high heat helps eliminate any ticks, larvae, or eggs.
Why Outdoor Tick Control Matters Most
Since ticks are primarily outdoor pests, treating your yard is the best way to prevent them from making their way inside. Our tick fogging service not only tackles ticks but also takes care of mosquitoes. This outdoor treatment creates a barrier around your home, helping to stop ticks from getting close to your pets or family members in the first place.
