Tick Control Serving Families Throughout Boerne & Surrounding Areas

Tick Control in Comfort

Customized Tick Control for Comfort Homes & Businesses

Effective tick control starts with the conditions that make each property different. At Covenant Pest Control, we inspect residential and commercial properties in Comfort to identify tick hotspots and recommend a customized approach for areas used by people and pets.

Comfort is an unincorporated Kendall County community in the Texas Hill Country. Wooded edges, brush, tall grass, leaf litter, and areas visited by wildlife or pets can provide tick habitat. Our inspections focus on the parts of a property where activity is most likely, and we explain landscaping changes that can make those areas less favorable to ticks.

Founded in 2013, our family-owned company offers pet- and family-friendly treatment options tailored to each yard or commercial property.

Tick Species & Health Concerns in the Texas Hill Country

Several tick species are commonly encountered across the Texas Hill Country. Correct identification matters because species differ in habitat, host preferences, and the illnesses they may transmit.

Ticks found in the region include:

Lone Star tick
American dog tick
Brown dog tick
Black-legged tick

Texas ticks can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, Lyme disease, and Southern tick-associated rash illness. A Lone Star tick bite can also trigger alpha-gal syndrome, an acquired allergy to red meat and other products containing alpha-gal. Finding a tick doesn’t establish that a person or pet has developed an illness.

Seek prompt medical evaluation when a bite is followed by fever, rash, severe headache, muscle pain, chills, nausea, or other concerning symptoms. A medical professional can evaluate the symptoms, timing, and potential exposure.

Year-Round Tick Activity in Comfort, Texas

Ticks are generally most active from spring through fall as vegetation grows and wildlife activity increases. Mild Texas Hill Country winters can extend the season, and ticks may remain present during warm periods in winter.

We offer year-round tick control because pressure doesn’t follow a fixed calendar. Vegetation, wildlife movement, pet use, weather, and property maintenance all affect when ticks become noticeable. Inspection findings, seasonal conditions, and continued activity determine whether ongoing service is appropriate.

Our Tick Control Process in Comfort

Professional service begins by determining where ticks are active and which property conditions may support them. We use those findings to build a treatment and prevention plan for the property.

Our process includes:

Hotspot inspection: We inspect the property for active areas and conditions such as shaded grass, brush, leaf litter, wooded borders, and spaces regularly used by pets.
Customized treatment: We develop a property-specific treatment using pet- and family-friendly products. The plan reflects the locations and conditions identified during the inspection.
Prevention guidance: We explain practical landscaping modifications that can reduce tick habitat and identify conditions the property owner can address between visits.
Follow-up service: We provide follow-up or re-treatment when necessary if tick activity continues. Ongoing needs depend on seasonal pressure, property conditions, and what we find after the initial service.

Our pest control work follows Texas Department of Agriculture licensing and regulation standards. We clearly explain what we found and which steps are appropriate for the property.

Yard & Pet Practices That Reduce Tick Habitat

Property maintenance can support professional treatment by reducing the shaded, protected areas where ticks wait for a host. Focus on yard edges, pet areas, paths, and places where maintained lawn meets brush or woods.

Practical measures include:

Keep grass short: Mow grass to 3 inches or less to reduce shaded areas where ticks may remain.
Clear organic debris: Remove leaf litter, brush, debris, and tall weeds from activity areas and yard edges.
Create yard barriers: Place a dry strip of gravel, mulch, or wood chips at least 3 feet wide between maintained lawn and wooded areas.
Check people and pets: Look for ticks after time in tall grass, brush, wooded edges, or areas frequently visited by wildlife.

How to remove an attached tick: Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull straight upward with steady pressure rather than twisting, then clean the bite area and your hands. Seek medical attention if concerning symptoms develop after the bite.

What do cockroaches eat?

Cockroaches feed on both plants and animals. They will feast on almost anything but especially like sugary foods, grease and fat, starches, and meat products.
They will even eat glue, book bindings, and human hair.
Cockroaches are attracted to decaying plants, rotting trash, compost piles, dog droppings, and cat litter. These unwanted pests are known as the sanitation workers of the animal kingdom. The worse something smells, the more attracted the cockroaches are.
Keeping your home and yard clear of debris and utilizing pest control will help eliminate these pesky critters.
Lifecycle of a Cockroach

Cockroaches go through 3 stages of life: egg, nymph, and adult. Females produce one egg sac each month for ten months. Each sac contains on average 16 eggs. The female cockroach will carry an egg case for several days and will then place it in a safe, damp place.
On average cockroaches live 6 to 15 months depending on the species, moisture, and temperature.
Am I legally obligated to do a new construction treatment?

Yes. Here in Texas, it is legally mandated for all new wood constructions to incorporate termite preventive measures. This is not just the case in Texas but in the majority of the country. At least 34 states require some kind of termite treatment for all new wood constructions, and most of these states are in the southern half of the country, where most termite problems occur.
