At Gilles Lambert Pest Control, we specialize in effective and thorough tick control services. With over 10 years of experience in the pest control industry, our team has the expertise to safely eliminate tick infestations and protect your family from the health risks associated with tick bites.

Ticks are small, blood-sucking parasites that feed on humans and animals. There are several different species of ticks in Canada, some more dangerous than others. Ticks go through four life stages – egg, larva, nymph, and adult. They can pick up diseases from animals and spread them to humans through their bites.

If you notice any of the following, it could indicate a tick infestation on your property:

• Ticks on pets or livestock
• Ticks on family members after being outdoors
• Bites or bullseye rashes
• Small blood spots on sheets or furniture
• Rodent nests or burrows nearby

Most chemical treatments work quickly to kill ticks on contact within 24-48 hours. However, since ticks have a complex life cycle, follow-up treatments are usually needed every 2-3 weeks to fully break their life cycle and eliminate an infestation.

We use chemicals like pyrethroids and carbamates that disrupt the nervous system of ticks to kill them. Rest assured the products we use are approved for use in Canada and safe for pets and humans when applied correctly by our licensed technicians.

There are several steps you can take to make your yard less hospitable to ticks:

• Clear tall grasses, brush, and leaf litter
• Create barriers of wood chips/gravel between wooded areas and lawn
• Discourage rodents by sealing off entry points to your home
• Keep playground equipment away from the woods

Tick treatments need to be repeated every 2-3 weeks during peak tick season (May-July) to break their life cycle. We recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, and can provide a customized treatment plan based on the severity of your infestation.

Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick close to your skin and gently pull straight up until it releases its hold. Disinfect the bite area and contact your doctor if any symptoms of illness develop. Notify us so we can recommend additional tick control measures.

Ticks in Winnipeg, Manitoba can transmit certain illnesses, including:

• Lyme Disease - Caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi found in black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in the region. Can lead to fevers, headaches, fatigue, and a bullseye rash if left untreated.
• Anaplasmosis - There have been a few cases of this tick-borne bacterial infection reported in Manitoba, but it is considered rare. Causes fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, and nausea.
• Babesiosis - Very few cases documented in Manitoba. This parasite infects red blood cells and causes fever, chills, sweating, and muscle aches.
