Ticks are more than just a nuisance in the Dallas-Fort Worth area—they pose serious health risks to both people and pets. At Jacksons Mosquito & Pest Control, our expert tick control service provides reliable protection against ticks, ensuring that your family and pets can enjoy your yard safely and comfortably.
Why Tick Control Matters in Dallas-Fort Worth
Ticks are a major health concern in North Texas due to the warm climate and variety of wildlife that can carry ticks into residential areas. Ticks are known carriers of diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis, which can cause serious health complications for humans and animals alike. They latch onto hosts—including pets, children, and adults—and feed on blood, potentially transmitting diseases in the process.
Ticks can easily hitch a ride into your yard on wild animals such as deer, raccoons, and even birds, making them a persistent problem that’s hard to avoid. For homes with pets or children who play outdoors, regular tick control is essential to prevent bites and reduce the risk of tick-borne illnesses.
How Ticks Get Into Your Yard—and Why They’re Hard to Control
Ticks are usually introduced to a yard by wildlife, which may carry them in their fur or feathers. They then settle in areas with tall grass, leaf litter, shrubs, or shaded spots. Once ticks establish themselves, they can be challenging to get rid of, as they lay eggs that lead to future generations of ticks over time.
Ticks are not typically eliminated with DIY methods like bug sprays or standard lawn treatments. Without a targeted approach, ticks will continue to reappear, posing a persistent risk for bites. Professional tick control is designed to eliminate current tick populations and prevent them from returning, making it the best solution for long-term tick prevention.

How to Keep Ticks Out of Your Yard
In addition to professional tick control, there are steps homeowners can take to reduce tick populations in their yard. These preventive measures can help make your yard less appealing to ticks:
- Maintain Your Lawn and Landscape: Regularly mow your lawn, trim bushes, and keep grass short in high-traffic areas. Removing tall grass and brush reduces shaded areas where ticks thrive.
- Remove Leaf Litter and Yard Debris: Ticks hide in leaf piles and yard waste, so clearing out leaf litter and maintaining a clean yard helps reduce tick habitats.
- Create a Barrier: For homes near wooded areas, consider creating a gravel or woodchip barrier between the woods and your lawn. This can help limit tick migration into your yard.
- Keep Wildlife Away: Wildlife such as deer and raccoons often carry ticks, so removing food sources like bird feeders or pet food can reduce the number of animals that enter your yard.
Signs You May Need Professional Tick Control
If you’re finding ticks on pets, in your home, or in areas of your yard where your family spends time, it’s a good idea to consider professional tick control services. Common signs of a tick problem include:
- Frequent Tick Sightings: Spotting ticks regularly on pets or family members after spending time outside.
- Ticks in Shaded Yard Areas: Finding ticks in shaded, grassy, or wooded areas of your yard, especially during the warm seasons.
- Pets Scratching or Licking Constantly: Pets may scratch, lick, or chew on areas where ticks have attached, which can indicate a tick infestation.
