Our technicians treat the yard and perimeter where ticks wait to latch on.
Read more about Tick Control in Norfolk
Deer ticks and American dog ticks cling to shaded, humid edges where lawns meet trees and brush. Norfolk's mature street trees and overgrown fence lines in areas like Riverview create exactly that habitat. Pets moving through tall grass carry ticks straight to the door, and kids playing in the yard are just as exposed. Warm months keep them questing for a host.
We inspect the yard for tick zones, then treat the turf, edges, and perimeter where they concentrate. Ongoing treatments through the season keep the population from rebuilding along the property line. Tick season coverage folds into a quarterly plan at $34/month, guarantee included.

|---|---|---|
| UniGuard ProgramExclusive | Universal Pest Control Termite protection and full pest control combined in one membership for one low monthly payment — from $59/month, with the termite warranty and quarterly pest service included together. | Most pest control companies Termite protection and pest control are usually sold as two separate agreements, with two renewals and two bills to keep track of. |
| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday.

| Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive | Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original. | Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material. |
| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.
