Tick Control in Arizona: How to Protect Your Family and Pets

Ticks are a growing problem in Southern Arizona, and homeowners in Tucson, Vail, Rita Ranch, Sahuarita, Green Valley , Oro Valley, Marana, and Corona de Tucson need to be on alert—especially during the warmer months. At Desert Shield Pest Control, we specialize in professional tick control services to keep your family, pets, and property protected year-round.

🕷️ What Types of Ticks Live in Arizona?

Several species of ticks are commonly found in Arizona, especially around residential areas:

• Brown Dog Tick – The most common tick in Tucson homes; often found indoors and in pet bedding.

• American Dog Tick – Prefers tall grass and shaded outdoor areas.

• Western Black-Legged Tick – Can carry Lyme disease (though rare in Arizona).

These ticks thrive in desert landscapes, yards with weeds, and areas with pets or wildlife.

⚠️ Why Tick Prevention Matters in Arizona

Ticks are not just annoying—they’re dangerous. Ticks in Arizona are known to transmit:

• Rocky Mountain spotted fever

• Tick-borne paralysis

• Canine ehrlichiosis

• Lyme disease (rare)

Arizona’s hot, dry conditions don’t stop ticks—in fact, many thrive in pet areas, kennels, and shaded parts of your yard.

📍 Where Ticks Hide on Your Property

Ticks love:

• Overgrown grass and weeds

• Dog runs and shaded kennels

• Cracks under patios and porches

• Leaf piles and wood stacks

Even well-kept homes can unknowingly host ticks. They often hitchhike indoors on pets or people.
