Tick Control & Exterminators in Southern California
Yard-focused tick control for Southern California. 90+ years of experience and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, with treatments that target the areas where ticks wait for a host.
Common Ticks in Southern California
A few tick species live in our region, and some can transmit disease, so reducing them around the home matters.
Western Black-legged Tick
Brown Dog Tick
Pacific Coast Tick
Signs of a Tick Problem
- Ticks found on pets after spending time in the yard
- Ticks on people around ankles, legs, or hairline
- Activity near tall grass, brush, and yard edges
- More ticks in spring and warm months
- Wildlife (rodents, deer, strays) passing through the yard
Why Ticks Are a Concern in Southern California
Southern California’s canyons, brushy open space, and trail-adjacent neighborhoods put many yards right next to prime tick habitat. Tall grass, leaf litter, and wildlife corridors give ticks places to wait for a passing host.
Because some local ticks transmit Lyme and other diseases, reducing yard habitat and treating the edges where pets and people cross is an important layer of protection.
How Lloyd Pest Control Reduces Ticks
Inspection
we map the high-risk zones, tall grass, brush lines, leaf litter, and pet paths, around your property.
Targeted Treatment
we treat yard edges, vegetation, and harborage where ticks quest for a host.
Barrier Protection
we treat the perimeter and advise on yard changes that make the area less tick-friendly.
Ongoing Monitoring
recurring seasonal visits keep tick pressure down through the warm months, included with plans.
That approach delivers lasting control instead of a short-term knockdown.
Residential Tick Control
We protect every kind of Southern California home:
- Single-family homes
- Apartments & condos
- Townhomes & duplexes
For families and pets near canyons, trails, or open space, ticks are a real health concern. A recurring plan that targets yard edges through spring and summer is the most effective way to keep tick pressure down. (We recommend vet-prescribed tick prevention for pets alongside our service.)
Choose from:
- One-time treatments for immediate issues
- Recurring, regularly scheduled service for year-round protection (recommended)
Commercial Tick Control
Ticks are a liability for properties with grounds, landscaping, or open space nearby. Lloyd treats high-risk zones with scheduled service. We treat:
- Hotels, resorts & grounds
- Schools & parks-adjacent campuses
- Apartment & HOA common areas
- Property landscaping & trails
- Other businesses with grounds

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s less common here than in the Northeast, but the western black-legged tick in our region can carry Lyme. That’s why reducing ticks around homes near brush and open space is worthwhile.
We target the zones where ticks wait for a host, tall grass, brush lines, leaf litter, and pet paths, and treat the perimeter, along with advice on yard changes that make the area less hospitable.
Our technicians are trained and licensed, and every product is applied according to its label directions. We use Integrated Pest Management to limit unnecessary applications, focus treatments on the areas where pests travel and nest, and match the product and amount to the specific pest and location. Tell us about your household before the visit and we will plan the treatment around it.
Tick service falls under our general home/yard plan at about $40–$60 per month, with one-time treatments from around $135; larger lots are quoted on inspection.
Ticks are most active in the warmer months from spring through fall, so recurring service during that window provides the best protection.
