  • Tick embedded in human skin, appearing red and black with visible legs.

Tick season in Maryland gets worse every year, especially for families with pets or wooded backyards. Columbia’s warm, humid climate makes ticks thrive — and prevention is key.


Here’s how to protect your home before ticks become a problem.


1. Keep Grass Short

Ticks hide in tall grass and shaded edges. Keep lawn edges trimmed.


2. Protect Pet Areas

Treat yards and pet resting spots. Use vet-approved preventatives.


3. Inspect Outdoor Furniture

Ticks hide beneath:

  • Decks
  • Patio chairs
  • Playsets
  • Shade structures


Why Professional Tick Control Helps

DIY sprays miss:

  • Woodline edges
  • Moist pockets
  • Under decks
  • Dense shrubs


We apply targeted treatments that create a protective barrier around your home.
