Tick Control in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
Yard treatment to cut tick populations around the places your family and pets spend time.
About Ticks in Georgia
Ticks are not just a nuisance. In Georgia, they can transmit illnesses such as Lyme-like illness, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis, and the lone star tick bite has been linked to alpha-gal syndrome, a meat allergy. Pets are especially likely to bring them indoors.
Professional yard treatment targets the places ticks wait for a host: wooded edges, tall grass, ground cover and the borders of the lawn.

How to Identify Ticks
Common Georgia ticks include the lone star tick (the female has a white spot on her back), the American dog tick, and the blacklegged (deer) tick. Ticks go through larva, nymph and adult stages and, depending on the species, can bite at each stage.
Signs You May Have Ticks
- Finding ticks on yourself, children or pets after time outside
- Pets scratching, with ticks attached around ears, neck and between toes
- Tall grass, brush and leaf litter in the yard
- Deer or other wildlife regularly crossing the property
- Wooded edges or ground cover adjacent to play areas
Why Ticks Are a Problem in Georgia
Georgia's warm, humid climate means ticks can be active for much of the year, not only in summer. Wooded lots, deer and rodents all help sustain tick populations near homes.
