Tick Pest Control in Marshall
Protecting Marshall, TX Homes & Businesses from Ticks
Ticks are more than just a nuisance in Marshall—they pose a serious health risk. East Texas’ warm, humid climate and dense vegetation create ideal conditions for ticks to thrive, increasing the risk of tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. At Gecko Pest Control, we understand the specific tick challenges faced by homeowners and businesses in Marshall and throughout Harrison County. Our tick control services are designed to address these local conditions, using targeted treatments and practical prevention strategies to help protect your property and the people who use it.
Because many of our technicians live and work in the same communities we serve, we see firsthand how tick activity shifts between wooded edges, neighborhoods, and high-traffic outdoor areas. That local insight allows us to build effective tick control plans based on how you actually use your yard or property—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Call us at (903) 225-8025 to schedule your consultation and experience the Gecko difference in tick pest control.
Our Comprehensive Tick Control Process
Effective tick control starts with understanding where ticks live and how they move through your property. Our process begins with a detailed inspection, during which we identify high-risk areas such as shaded lawn edges, wooded boundaries, fence lines, and places where pets or wildlife travel.
From there, we apply targeted, environmentally responsible treatments designed to reduce existing tick populations while discouraging future activity. Our approach emphasizes consistency and timing, focusing treatments during periods when ticks are most active in East Texas.
In addition to treatment, we provide guidance on small property adjustments—such as trimming vegetation or managing transition zones—that can significantly reduce tick exposure. Over time, follow-up visits allow us to monitor activity levels, refine treatment placement, and ensure long-term effectiveness rather than relying on a single application.
Customized Plans for Marshall Residents
Every property in Marshall is different, which is why we create customized tick control plans based on local environmental factors and individual risk levels. Properties near wooded areas, creeks, or undeveloped land often require a different approach than homes in more open neighborhoods.
We also consider how your household or business uses outdoor spaces. A family with pets or children playing in the yard may need a different treatment schedule than a commercial property with limited outdoor access. Our goal is to provide protection that fits naturally into your routine without unnecessary disruption.
As seasons change in East Texas, so do tick conditions. We revisit recommendations throughout the year, adjusting plans based on rainfall, vegetation growth, and wildlife movement to keep your protection aligned with real-world conditions.

What To Expect During Tick Service Visits
During your initial visit, we begin with a brief conversation to confirm your concerns and review any specific areas of activity. Our technician then conducts a thorough inspection, focusing on shaded zones, lawn edges, and areas where ticks are most likely to gather.
After treatment, we walk you through what was done, what to expect in the coming days, and any simple steps you can take between visits to support results. Follow-up visits are typically more streamlined but still include a review of activity levels and adjustments as needed.
Our goal is to make every visit predictable, professional, and informative—so you always know how your tick control plan is performing.

Tick Prevention Tips for Marshall Properties
Professional treatments are an important part of tick management, but everyday property habits also play a key role. Keeping grass trimmed, removing leaf litter, and managing shaded areas can significantly reduce tick habitats.
For properties bordering wooded areas, creating a transition zone using mulch or gravel can help limit tick movement into frequently used spaces. Checking pets after outdoor activity and keeping play areas toward the center of the yard also reduces exposure.
When combined with professional tick control services, these small adjustments create a layered defense that makes it harder for ticks to reach people and pets.
