Ticks Pest Control in Dombivli

How ticks get into a flat

Most ticks come home on a dog. They wait in grass and bushes for an animal to brush past. The open ground around the East side townships and any society garden can give them that chance. Your dog walks through, comes up in the lift and the tick drops off somewhere in your flat.

From there it finds a crack, the edge of a curtain, the skirting or the dog's mat, and a female can leave a huge number of eggs in that one spot. This is the reason a freshly treated dog can have ticks again in two weeks. You have to deal with your pet and your home at the same time.

Before the technician comes

• Put your pet's bedding through a hot wash and let it dry completely.
• Vacuum under furniture and along the skirting, then empty the bag outdoors.
• Keep pets away from the rooms that will be treated. The technician will say when they may come back.
• Mention any fish tank, birds or other small pets you keep.

• What does tick control cost in Dombivli?

  Prices begin at ₹1,600, and that covers your home plus any garden or pet area you have. A bigger place or a wider spread costs more. We inspect for free and give you the amount in writing, and you get a 1-year warranty on the work.

• Will you remove the ticks from my dog?

  No. We work on your home, your garden and your pet's spots, and your vet looks after the dog itself. Book the two close together if you can. When the animal and the rooms get done in one week, ticks have very little left to hide in.

• Is the tick treatment safe for my dog and my kids?

  The products we use for ticks are child-safe and pet-safe, and a trained technician puts them down. Still, keep your children and pets away from those rooms until you are told it is fine. If anyone has an allergy, or your pet is pregnant, mention it first.

• How soon will the ticks start to go away?

  Most people notice a change in 24 to 48 hours. Clearing them fully can take 1 to 2 weeks, and a repeat treatment may be needed. You could see a few more at first, since eggs are still hatching. If you are still seeing them after two weeks, call us.

• I have already treated my dog. Why are ticks still around?

  Your home probably still has eggs and young ticks hiding in it, often where the dog sleeps. New ones can also climb on during a walk through long grass. Getting the rooms treated and asking your vet about regular protection usually puts an end to it.

• We live on a high floor with no garden. Can we still get ticks?

  Yes. A dog can carry ticks up in the lift to any floor, and once inside, they settle into bedding and cracks in the wall. Corridors and lobbies can hold them as well. A garden makes things easier for ticks, but they do not need one.

• Our township has open ground. How do we protect our dog on walks?

  Check your dog after every walk through grass or bushes, especially the ears, neck and between the toes. Ask your vet about regular protection for the animal. Keep to the paths when you can. If ticks start showing up at home, call us before they settle in.

• Can ticks make people or pets sick?

  They can pass on serious diseases, so do not ignore a bite. If you or your pet develops a fever, a rash or seems very tired afterwards, go to a doctor or vet and tell them about the tick. We clear your home, and they handle the health side.

• How can I clear ticks from my home quickly?

  Get the rooms and any outdoor space done on one visit, and take your pet to the vet in the same week. Do your part first, with a hot wash for the bedding and a good vacuum along the walls. A change usually shows within 48 hours.

• How many months does tick treatment protect my home?

  We cannot give you a number of months, because your dog can walk in with new ticks tomorrow. What you do get is a 1-year warranty and 3 free follow-up visits a year. For steady cover, you can choose a treatment every quarter with regular checks.
