Ticks wait in tall grass, leaf litter and wooded edges for a passing host, then attach to feed on blood. In the Tampa Bay area, people and pets most often pick them up in yards that border wooded areas or overgrown vegetation. Some ticks can carry diseases, so prompt removal and prevention both matter.
Different ticks prefer different hosts and habitats, so knowing which one you have found helps you understand the risk. Use the guides below to identify the ticks we see most, and reach out to Anti-Pesto Bug Killers if you keep finding them on your family or pets.
From the first contact call the staff was very professional, courteous and informative. We discussed the issues and set a plan with an appointment within a couple days. Shane, our technician, was very prompt and courteous. Very informative during the inspection process and strategically put a deterrent plan in place. I would highly recommend Anti-Pesto Bug Killers.

We had a wasp infestation in our backyard shed. Anti-Pesto responded immediately and were out to our place within about two hours and took care of everything thoroughly. They will even follow-up again within two weeks to be sure that the problem does not recur. They are awesome!

Amazing quality work. I’ve had a few pest control companies spray and ants would still enter our home and act as roommates. Sam Hurtado is our technician and he answers everything with knowledge and always brings quality work. Even if there was recent pest work they always arrange if I have issues. Thank you!!
