It’s usually the warmer months in Brisbane when you really need to keep an eye on your furry family members for signs of ticks, but it’s worth noting that ticks can be found in backyards and bushland all year round.

Last year (2018) was one of the worst tick seasons on record for Brisbane so it’s important you make sure your pets are safe by having Abolish Termite & Pest Management spray for ticks around your home and yard, particularly if you have ample gardens or live on a property with bushland on or near it.

• Gagging or decreased hunger
• A difference in their vocalisations (barking or meowing differently)
• Complications with breathing and/or wheezing

Ticks love warm humid areas so Brisbane is the perfect environment for ticks to thrive. They live in areas where there’s bush and grasslands which also happens to be the exact places dogs and cats love to explore. Here are a few things you can do to make sure you minimise the risk of your pets having issues with ticks:

• Check your pets’ coats regularly in tick season (spring is peak season in Brisbane)
• Clean up your gardens and bushy areas around your home
• Spray insect repellant on your shoes and socks if walking through bushland areas in tick season
• Check over your pets after they’ve been in or around bushland areas
