Ticks in Your Garden: Protecting Your Pets and Family
Finding a tick on your dog after a walk in the garden is unsettling — and for good reason. Ticks aren't just a nuisance; they transmit disease to both pets and people, and a shaded Marbella garden in spring and summer is exactly the habitat they thrive in.
If you're pulling ticks off your pets or family, the garden itself is usually the source — and that's where the solution has to start.
Why ticks are more than a nuisance
Ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme and other infections to pets and people. They wait in long grass, shrubs and shaded, humid vegetation, then attach to whatever brushes past — often your dog, who then carries them indoors.
Because the risk is to your family's and pets' health, a tick problem is one you want resolved quickly and thoroughly.
Why the garden is the real source
Removing ticks from pets treats the symptom, but as long as the garden offers long grass, leaf litter and shaded borders, new ticks keep appearing. They rise sharply in the warm Costa del Sol months, so the pressure builds through the season.
Controlling ticks means treating the habitat, not just the animals.
How professional tick control protects your home
We identify tick habitats and hotspots, apply targeted treatment to vegetation, borders and shaded resting areas, and create a protective perimeter around the property. We then advise on garden maintenance and pet areas to keep tick pressure low.
A pre-season treatment is the most effective way to enjoy your garden safely all summer. See our tick control in Marbella.
Frequently asked questions
Is the treatment safe for my pets and children?
Yes, when applied correctly. We advise a short window before re-entering treated areas.
Will one treatment be enough?
Often a single treatment plus garden maintenance works; heavily affected gardens may need a follow-up or seasonal plan.
When is the best time to treat?
Before summer — a pre-season treatment keeps ticks down through the warm months.
