Tick Control

Yard tick treatments for properties with pets, kids or wildlife pressure.

Ticks are an underrated Central Texas problem, especially on properties bordering greenbelts, the Hill Country or wooded areas. Vector 1's tick program treats the yard perimeter, transition zones and shaded harborage areas where ticks wait for a host to walk by.

Why Central Texas Homeowners Need This

Ticks in the Austin area can transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Pets pick them up from the yard and bring them inside. Treating the property cuts encounter rates dramatically.
