Paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) are a genuine danger in bushland-fringe Campbelltown suburbs. They drop from vegetation onto pets, children and adults, inject a neurotoxin as they feed, and can kill dogs and cats and trigger anaphylaxis in humans. The high-risk zones in the Macarthur region are Kentlyn, Wedderburn, Menangle Park, Gilead, Long Point and any property backing onto Georges River bushland, Ingleburn Reserve or Simmos Beach Reserve.
Brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) are the other tick we treat regularly — an introduced species that can complete its entire lifecycle indoors in Campbelltown share-houses, kennels and homes with heavy dog traffic. Our yard-based tick treatment targets both.
