Overview What is Forterra's tick control service?
Forterra Tick Control in Southlake concentrates on the boundary between maintained lawn and unmaintained land. That transition band is where ticks wait and where a broadcast lawn treatment misses them entirely, and greenbelt wildlife keeps resupplying it.
Your office
Forterra Southlake.
The Southlake office is where Forterra started in 2021 and it has not moved, so a property is serviced by the building that sets the standards rather than one following them at a distance. W-2 technicians, every visit logged, and the ★ 5.0 rating across 2,080 Google reviews sits on this office's own profile.

On the ground in Southlake
Greenbelt boundaries and tall edges.
Properties backing onto greenbelt and creek corridors have the highest tick pressure we see, because that is where the wildlife lives and the vegetation stays tall and shaded. The boundary strip between maintained lawn and unmaintained land is the whole story, and it is usually a narrow band that a broadcast lawn treatment misses entirely.
So the work concentrates there, on the yard line, the bed edges and the shaded planting where ticks wait. Keeping that transition zone cut back makes a genuine difference and costs nothing. We also talk about where children and pets actually spend time, because protecting that ground properly matters more than treating the whole lot lightly. The pet's own treatment runs alongside.

Why we treat the edges
Ticks live in the transition zones. So does the treatment.
The boundary strip is the whole story on these properties. It is usually narrow, it is usually where the children cross, and it is exactly what a general lawn treatment fails to cover.
Stage 01
01
Treat edges
Fence lines, drip lines and brush edges, ankle height.
Ticks concentrate where lawn meets brush, fence lines, tree drip lines, tall grass and leaf litter, waiting at ankle height for a host. Treatment goes exactly there, not broadcast across open turf they avoid.
Stage 02
02
Cut carriers
Fewer hosts crossing the yard means fewer ticks restocking it.
Every tick in your yard arrived on an animal. Managing the rodent side, keeping harborage trimmed and treating pet runs breaks the resupply chain that keeps a yard infested.
Stage 03
03
Protect family
EPA-approved, kid-friendly and pet-friendly once dry.
Treatments are EPA-approved, applied to the harborage zones rather than play areas, and kid-friendly and pet-friendly once dry, typically within hours. You get clear guidance on timing after every visit.
Your yard, from above
Ticks hold the edges. The treatment holds them back.
The transition from mown lawn to greenbelt, shaded ornamental ground cover, and the path children use to reach the trees.
Overhead of a greenbelt-adjacent lot; numbers key to the tick zones.
- 01
Fence-line beds
The classic questing zone. Ticks wait on grass tips along the fence run for a passing host.
- 02
Shaded beds
Leaf litter under trees stays humid enough for ticks to survive Texas summers.
- 03
Tree drip lines
The shade circle under each canopy is a micro-habitat; the barrier follows its edge.
- 04
Garden-bed edges
Where beds meet lawn is a transition line pets cross daily; it gets the ankle-height band.
- 05
Under the deck
Wildlife shelter that restocks ticks; treated and flagged for exclusion where needed.
- 06
Open lawn
Mowed, sunny turf is not tick habitat. We treat the edges that surround it instead.

The tick visit
Forterra's tick process, step by step.
We treat the boundary and shaded planting rather than the lawn, and talk about keeping that transition cut back, which does more over a season than repeated treatment. The pet's treatment runs alongside.

Transparent quote
Sixty seconds online or one phone call gets the yard priced, and the figure stands in writing. You pick reactive quarterly coverage or monthly prevention before anyone drives out.
- 02
First-visit inspection
Yard edges, fence lines, shaded beds and pet runs get walked on the first visit. Lone star, dog tick and deer tick point to different harborage, so species identification leads.
- 03
Treat the zones
Barrier treatment through the transition zones and pet areas, with trimming and harborage recommendations that make the yard hostile to the next generation.

Guaranteed results
A tick found after treatment brings us back free. Quarterly coverage keeps the reactive side handled, and the money-back guarantee stands behind every visit.
Frequently asked
Questions in Southlake, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Fine tweezers, grip at the head, pull straight out without twisting. Clean it and note the date. On Southlake properties backing onto greenbelt it is worth a daily check on pets and children through the season rather than a weekly one.
Spotted fever and ehrlichiosis are the realistic ones in North Texas, both uncommon. Lyme disease is rare here despite dominating the online advice, which is written for other regions. A rash or fever after a bite is worth a doctor's call either way.
Because the lawn is not where they are. On a Southlake property the ticks are in the boundary strip where mown grass meets greenbelt, and that band is narrow enough that a broadcast lawn treatment passes straight over it.
We treat the boundary and shaded planting rather than the open lawn children use, and specify what to stay off and for how long. Pets still need their own tick treatment; ours reduces the population they walk through.
Inside the quarterly plan at $49 a month, initial service from $149. Properties on a greenbelt boundary often want dedicated boundary treatment through the season, which we quote on its own so you can judge it.
