Reduce Tick Risk Now Before It Spreads to the Whole Property

If you spot a tick in your home or on a pet, it’s worth taking seriously. Ticks have a way of turning a quick trip outside into a routine of checking socks, sleeves, and fur after every walk. Even one bite after yard work can make the whole yard feel stressful, especially since ticks hide in tall grass, leaf litter, and shady edges. When early activity gets ignored, it can spread from the back corners into the spaces your family actually uses.

At Get ’Em Out, we provide professional Tick removal in Ottawa with targeted, yard-focused treatment that tackles the spots ticks live and travel,l such as property edges, brushy zones, and high-traffic paths. We’ll point out the risk areas, reduce activity at the source, and share simple prevention steps to help protect kids and pets.

Danger / Damage

Ticks are a different kind of pest because they bite and feed on blood. Most bites don’t turn into anything serious, but some ticks can pass along bacteria, viruses, or parasites, es and the odds generally go up the longer one stays attached, so it’s not something to brush off. Tick Removal helps lower risk by reducing tick activity where bites most often occur. For pets, it matters even more since heavy tick numbers can cause blood loss (anemia) and, in rare cases, tick paralysis from toxins in tick saliva.

Active Months

Tick activity typically ramps up during warmer months and stays high through spring and summer, with another push in early fall. Mild days can still bring encounters with ticks, even outside peak season. In Ottawa, treating early helps reduce the spread of ticks across the property.

Appearance

Ticks are flat and oval at first, then become rounder and plumper as they swell. Adults and nymphs have eight legs, while larvae have six. Colour ranges from brown and black to reddish-brown or greyish, and some species have lighter spots or markings. They have two main body segments, no wings, and small hook-like mouthparts that help them latch on.

Habitat

Ticks thrive in tall grass, leaf litter, brushy edges, and shaded areas where animals pass through. They commonly build up along fence lines, wooded borders, garden edges, and overgrown corners. Keeping these zones trimmed and treated helps reduce tick activity where your family walks and plays.

Life Cycle

Ticks go through four stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult, and they move up through each stage by taking a blood meal, then molting. The full cycle can take up to about three years, and different stages often feed on different hosts (smaller animals early on, larger animals later). Because those stages overlap, tick activity can feel ongoing.

Tick Talk: Quick Answers for Ottawa Homeowners

Ticks are easy to miss until you find one on a pet or get bitten after a quick walk outside. Here are the common questions Ottawa homeowners ask us.

What are stored product pests?

Ticks bite and can carry illness, so tick removal helps protect people and pets. They gather in tall grass and brushy areas, and early treatment helps prevent them from spreading across your property.

When are ticks most active in Ottawa?

Ticks are most active in spring and early summer, with another increase in fall. They can remain active on mild days, especially in shaded or humid areas. Early treatment helps reduce later activity.

What are the signs of a tick infestation?

Common signs include finding ticks on pets or clothing, or getting bites after time in grassy or brushy areas. Repeat sightings in the same spots often indicate active zones on your property.

How can I prevent ticks in my yard?

Keep grass trimmed, clear leaf litter, and reduce brush where ticks hide. Creating clean borders and treating high-risk areas helps lower tick activity.
