Our Tick Control Service
Reclaim Your Outdoor Spaces from Ticks with Dade Pest Solutions' Expert Tick Control Services
Ticks in South Florida are more than a nuisance — they can transmit serious diseases including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis. South Florida's warm climate means ticks are active year-round — especially near the green spaces and parks surrounding the Everglades and Biscayne Bay. Dade Pest Solutions provides targeted tick control that reduces populations in your yard and creates a safer outdoor environment for your family and pets. We serve Homestead, Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, South Miami, Coral Gables, and Kendall — backed by 164+ five-star reviews from families across Miami-Dade County.
Our 5-Step Tick Control Process
- Thorough Tick Inspection: We identify tick habitats, hot spots, and the extent of tick activity on your property — focusing on tall grass, leaf litter, wooded edges, and pet resting areas.
- Customized Tick Control Plan: Targeted treatment plans based on your property's unique tick risk factors and the species present.
- Safe & Effective Treatments: EPA-registered products applied by licensed technicians — safe for your family and pets when used as directed.
- Habitat Reduction: Guidance on reducing tick habitats: trimming grass, removing leaf litter, creating tick-safe zones, and managing wildlife attractants.
- Ongoing Protection: RPP customers receive quarterly exterior treatments that maintain a protective barrier against ticks year-round.
Tick Species We Treat in South Florida
- American Dog Tick: The most common tick in South Florida. Transmits Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Prefers dogs and humans as hosts.
- Black-Legged (Deer) Tick: The primary vector of Lyme disease. Smaller than the American dog tick. Found in wooded and brushy areas.
- Lone Star Tick: Aggressive tick that actively seeks hosts. Can cause alpha-gal syndrome (red meat allergy) in some people.
- Brown Dog Tick: The only tick that can complete its entire life cycle indoors. Can establish infestations inside homes if brought in on dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What tick species are common in South Florida?
- The American dog tick, black-legged (deer) tick, lone star tick, and brown dog tick are most common in Miami-Dade County. The black-legged tick can transmit Lyme disease, while the American dog tick is the primary vector of Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
- Can ticks live inside my home?
- While most ticks prefer outdoor environments, the brown dog tick can complete its entire life cycle indoors and establish infestations inside homes if brought in on dogs. Treating both the yard and interior is important for full protection.
- How do I protect my family from ticks?
- In addition to professional treatment, wear long sleeves and pants in wooded areas, use EPA-registered repellents containing DEET or picaridin, check for ticks after outdoor activities, and keep grass trimmed short. Treat pets with veterinarian-approved tick prevention.
- Is tick treatment safe for my pets?
- Yes. We use EPA-registered products and follow all safety protocols. We recommend keeping pets off treated areas until dry, typically 30–60 minutes after application.
