The essentials at a glance

Tick treatment aims to reduce populations in gardens, grassy areas and green spaces, where they wait for a host at the tips of long grass. It combines managing the ground (mowing, clearing scrub, a gravel barrier) with targeted treatment of high-risk areas. In France, the tick is the main vector of Lyme borreliosis.

Treatment of high-risk areas against ticks and prevention advice to limit the transmission of Lyme disease and other vector-borne diseases in Île-de-France.

How to spot the presence of ticks

  • Ticks attached to the skin after a walk in a forest, park or garden
  • Erythema migrans, a target-shaped red rash appearing several days after the bite
  • Flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue, aches) in the weeks following a bite
  • Ticks found on pets after walking through tall grass

Why fight ticks in Île-de-France

Ticks transmit Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis and other bacteria. The Bois de Vincennes and Bois de Boulogne, parks and grassy gardens in Val-de-Marne are recognised high-risk areas. An undetected bite can lead to joint, neurological or cardiac complications several months after exposure.

The ticks and Lyme disease we treat

  • Ixodes ricinus: the sheep tick, the main species in France and the major vector of Lyme disease.
  • Dermacentor reticulatus, found in grassy areas and a vector of piroplasmosis in dogs.
  • Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, which can establish itself long-term inside a home.
  • The nymphs, the size of a pinhead: responsible for most infections because they go unnoticed.

Understanding ticks and Lyme disease better

The tick neither jumps nor flies: it lies in wait, clinging to the tip of a blade of grass with its front legs outstretched, and grabs a host as it passes. It favours woodland edges, long grass, leaf piles and shaded, damp areas. Its saliva contains an anaesthetic: the bite is painless, which is why it's usually found late. Transmission of Borrelia, the Lyme bacterium, rises sharply with how long the tick stays attached — removing it within the first few hours markedly reduces the risk. The tiny nymphs are behind most human infections, precisely because they escape notice.

Our method against ticks

  1. Assessment of high-risk areas: lawns, edges, tall grass, bushes
  2. Targeted acaricide treatment of areas used by children and animals
  3. Landscaping advice to reduce high-risk areas and maintain the lawn
  4. Recommendations for personal protection and tick-bite monitoring

When should you call a professional?

Call in a professional if your land borders woodland or a grassy area and you regularly find ticks on yourself or your pets, for a communal green space, a play area or a campsite, or in the event of a brown dog tick infestation inside the home — the only species able to establish itself there long-term. After every outing in a high-risk area, check yourself over: skin folds, scalp, armpits, backs of the knees.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Sedating the tick with ether, alcohol or a flame: it regurgitates and the transmission risk goes up.
  • Pulling the tick out with your fingers or tweezers, leaving the mouthparts embedded in the skin.
  • Using a tick remover by turning it the wrong way or yanking it out, instead of a steady rotating movement.
  • Neglecting the upkeep of the land — long grass, dead leaves, unmaintained woodland edges — which sustains the population.

Durally reducing the tick risk

  • Mow the lawn regularly and clear dead leaves
  • Create a clear path through grassy areas of the garden
  • Check skin and pets after every walk in wooded areas

Our results guarantee

A successful treatment isn't judged on the day itself but a few weeks later. That's why we schedule a follow-up inspection and come back at no cost if the pest reappears during the guarantee period.

How much does a Ticks and Lyme disease cost?

The price always depends on the survey: type of pest, surface area, level of infestation, accessibility and the number of visits required. We publish indicative price ranges in full transparency, and every quote is free, itemised and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions about Ticks and Lyme disease

Is the tick treatment dangerous for my garden?

We use approved acaricide products applied in a targeted way to high-risk areas, respecting bees and beneficial wildlife. We also advise on simple landscaping changes to durably reduce tick presence.

How do I remove a tick properly?

With a tick remover, slid under the tick as close to the skin as possible, turning without pulling until it lets go. Then disinfect, note the date, and watch the area for a month. Don't apply ether, alcohol or a flame before removal: the tick would regurgitate, which increases the transmission risk.

What warning signs should I look out for after a bite?

A red patch spreading in a ring around the bite site — erythema migrans — appearing 3 to 30 days later is the characteristic sign of Lyme disease and calls for a medical consultation. A fever, joint pain or unusual fatigue in the following weeks also warrant medical advice, mentioning the bite.

Can you really get rid of ticks in a garden?

You can't sterilise a piece of land, but you can greatly reduce the pressure. Most of it comes down to how the ground is kept: regular mowing, clearing the woodland edges, removing leaf piles, a strip of gravel or wood chips between the woods and the living areas. Targeted treatment of high-risk areas rounds off that work. Our survey pinpoints exactly which areas to treat and which to rework.
