Tick Trouble: What You Need to Know
Ticks are small yet formidable outdoor pests. To keep yourself and your property safe, it’s essential to understand tick behavior, habits, and the risks they pose.
Tick Behavior
With their tiny, flat bodies, ticks are expert hiders, often staying out of sight in vegetation until they detect a passing host. Here are some key facts about their behavior and habitat in North Georgia:
- Thriving in Humidity and Vegetation - Ticks need high humidity to survive, and North Georgia’s mix of woodlands, fields, and even residential backyards gives them an ideal habitat. Tall grass, leaf litter, and shady shrubbery are their favorite hiding spots.
- Opportunistic Parasites - Ticks rely on blood to survive and reproduce. They latch onto mammals, birds, or reptiles for feeding. Common species in Georgia include the Lone Star tick, American dog tick, and the notorious black-legged tick (or deer tick).
- A Wait-and-Ambush Strategy - Ticks don’t jump or fly. Instead, they employ a behavior called “questing” where they climb to the tips of grass or leaves and wait for a host to brush past.

How We Treat Tick Infestations in Marietta
At Maple Leaf Lawn Care & Pest Control, we take a systematic, thorough approach to tick management. Here’s how our process works:
1. Inspection
The first step to effective tick control is understanding the specific conditions of your property. Our trained technicians perform a comprehensive inspection, identifying areas that may attract or harbor ticks. We evaluate problem zones such as tall grass, flowering weeds, dense bushes, or shaded areas in your yard.
Once we’ve outlined a strategy, we’ll walk you through each step of the process and ensure all your questions are answered. With your approval, we can jump-start treatment to begin reclaiming your outdoor spaces.
2. Treatment
We stay ahead of the curve by tracking advancements in pest control products and methods, ensuring you receive the best solutions available. Our experts treat areas vulnerable to ticks using industry-leading products that we’d trust on our own properties. By treating areas frequently visited by pests, as well as surrounding environments, we disrupt their life cycle and keep their populations in check.
3. Follow-Up
Tick control is not a “one-and-done” process, particularly because these pests are seasonal. That’s why we rely on consistent follow-up treatments to monitor progress and adjust our approach as needed. Our team schedules visits tailored to your needs, utilizing scientific knowledge to maintain proactive, effective control.
We Can Complement Treatments with Lawn Care Services
Your lawn’s health can directly impact pest control success. A lush and healthy lawn reduces tall grass and eliminates the shade ticks use for shelter. Our lawn care services include targeted weed control, lawn aeration, and fertilization, creating an environment that’s less conducive to pests while improving the overall beauty of your yard.
Pairing professional tick control with expert lawn care is a one-two punch for year-round outdoor enjoyment.
