Ticks control in Canada
Yard treatment matters most where Lyme disease risk is expanding.
How to identify it
Small flat eight-legged parasites that swell after feeding; blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease.
Signs of an infestation
- Ticks found on people or pets after time in the yard
- Tall grass and leaf-litter edges on the property
Is it dangerous?
Blacklegged ticks can transmit Lyme disease; prompt removal and medical advice matter.
Can I handle this myself?
DIY may be reasonable
Yard maintenance and personal checks reduce risk substantially.
