FAQ
Tick Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about tick control in Washington, D.C., including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does tick control cost in DC?
Tick Control is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
When is tick season in DC?
Tick season in the DC metro area runs from April through November, with peak activity in May-July. Deer ticks can remain active in winter when temperatures are above freezing.
Are ticks a problem in DC or just the suburbs?
Ticks are found throughout the DC metro area, including city parks and suburban properties in Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland. Wooded areas and areas near green spaces have higher tick populations.
Do tick treatments protect against Lyme disease?
Professional tick treatment significantly reduces tick populations on your property, lowering the risk of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Combined with personal prevention measures, yard treatment is one of the most effective protections.
Are tick treatments safe for pets?
Yes. Our tick treatments are safe for pets once dry, typically 30-60 minutes after application. We also coordinate with your tick prevention plan for pets (collars, topicals) for comprehensive protection.
