Tick Control

Tick Control Services in Nairobi and Surrounding Areas

Ticks are small but dangerous pests that can cause serious health issues for both humans and animals. In Nairobi and surrounding towns, tick infestations are common in areas with pets, livestock, gardens, or tall grass. Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that attach themselves to their host and can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, tick-borne relapsing fever, and East Coast fever in cattle.

Whether you own a home, run a farm, manage a veterinary clinic, or operate a boarding kennel, effective tick control is essential for maintaining health and preventing infestations. Nairobi Pest Control provides safe, targeted, and long-lasting tick control solutions for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties.

Understanding Tick Infestations

Ticks thrive in warm, humid environments, and Nairobi’s climate creates ideal breeding conditions, especially during the rainy seasons. They are often found in grassy yards, bushes, livestock pens, animal shelters, and pet bedding.

They attach to their hosts humans, dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and cattle where they feed on blood for days. This feeding not only irritates the skin but also allows them to transmit harmful pathogens.

Why Tick Control is Important

1. Disease Prevention – Protects people and pets from tick-borne illnesses.
2. Animal Health – Prevents weight loss, anemia, and infections in livestock and pets.
3. Comfort – Reduces skin irritation and discomfort caused by tick bites.
4. Economic Value – Prevents loss of livestock productivity and costly vet treatments.

Signs of a Tick Infestation

• Frequent scratching, licking, or biting by pets and livestock.
• Visible ticks attached to the skin, ears, or between toes of animals.
• Tick eggs or small dark pests in bedding or resting areas.
• Increased cases of animal illness or unusual lethargy.

Causes and Risk Factors

• Unmaintained lawns and overgrown vegetation.
• Pets or livestock without tick prevention treatments.
• Close contact with infested animals.
• Poor hygiene in animal housing or shelters.
• Warm, humid weather conditions.
