Found in Bushy Yards
Ticks thrive in bushy, grassy, and shaded yards typical of South West Sydney. They wait on vegetation for hosts to pass by, making garden maintenance and treatment essential.
Tick Behaviour & Signs
Attachment to Hosts
Ticks easily attach to pets and people walking through long grass or shaded areas. Once attached, they burrow into the skin to feed, often going unnoticed until symptoms appear.
Tick Identification
The paralysis tick and brown dog tick are common along the NSW coast, including South West Sydney. Identifying these pests early is crucial for the safety of your family and pets.
