Ticks Pest Control in Goregaon

Why ticks are a Goregaon East problem

Most of Mumbai does not think much about ticks. Near Film City and the Aarey border it is different, because the jungle and green belt come right up to the buildings. Ticks sit in grass and bushes and climb onto any animal going by. A dog on an evening walk is the usual ride, and in Goregaon East that walk can easily go past a green patch.

Back home, they drop off and hide in cracks, skirting, door frames, curtain edges and the dog's bed. One female can lay a lot of eggs in a hidden corner. That is why you treat the dog, relax for a while, and then find ticks again after two weeks. You need to deal with the animal and the home together.

Before the technician comes

• Wash pet bedding in hot water and let it dry fully.
• Vacuum along the skirting and under furniture, then empty the vacuum outside.
• Take pets out of the rooms being treated, and ask when they can go back.
• Tell us if you keep fish, birds or any other small animals at home.

• How much is tick control in Goregaon East?

  It starts at ₹1,600 on both sides of Goregaon, and that covers your home plus any garden or pet area. A bigger place or a heavier problem costs more. We inspect and quote for free, and you get a 1-year warranty with the work.

• We keep getting ticks near Film City. Can you really stop them?

  We can clear them from your home and bring the numbers down a lot, but the jungle next door stays. Ticks can come back on your dog after a walk. That is why homes on this side do better with treatment every quarter, plus regular protection from your vet.

• Can you remove ticks from my dog while you are here?

  No, our treatment is for the home, garden and pet areas, not the animal. Please ask your vet about what to put on your dog, and try to get that done close to our visit. Treating both in the same week leaves ticks far fewer places to live.

• Is the tick treatment safe for my pets and children?

  The products we use are made for ticks, and trained technicians put them down with care. Still, pets and children should stay out of those rooms till we say they can go back in. Let us know beforehand about any allergy, or if a pet is pregnant or ill.

• How soon will I see fewer ticks in my flat?

  Results usually show in 24 to 48 hours, and clearing them fully may take 1 to 2 weeks, with follow-up treatment if needed. You may still see a few at first, as newly hatched ones keep coming out. Tell us if you are still seeing them after two weeks.

• Why do ticks return after I treat my dog?

  The dog is clean, but your home may not be. Eggs and young ones can stay in the cracks and in your dog's bed. A walk through grass can also pick up new ticks. Get the home treated, and ask your vet about regular protection for the dog.

• I live high up in a tower with no garden. Can I still get ticks?

  Yes. Your dog can carry ticks into the lift and up to any floor, and they settle into cracks, skirting and bedding. Corridors and lobbies can hold them too. A garden just makes life easier for them, and they can manage perfectly well without one.

• Can a tick bite make me sick?

  Yes, it can. Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis are two illnesses ticks are known to carry. If you or your pet has a fever, rash or unusual tiredness after a bite, see a doctor or vet and say a tick bit you. We can only help with the home.

• How long will the home stay free of ticks after one visit?

  We will not give you a number of months, because your dog can bring in new ones any day. You get a 1-year warranty with 3 free follow-up visits a year. If you live near the green belt, a treatment every quarter with monitoring is the safer way to go.

• What can I do myself to keep ticks away?

  Keep any garden trimmed and clear of dry leaves, wash pet bedding often, and check your dog after walks through grass. Ask your vet about regular protection. If you still find ticks inside the house, call 80979 41077 and we will send someone to look at where they are hiding.
