Ticks on Your Plot and in the Garden in Warsaw — How to Reduce the Risk of a Bite
Tall grass and piles of leaves are ticks' favourite hiding spots — we look at how to reduce their numbers and what tick control looks like in Warsaw.
Why are ticks a serious problem?
Tall grass and piles of leaves are ticks' favourite hiding spots — and their bite can transmit serious diseases, not just cause skin irritation.
Transmit Lyme disease
The most common tick-borne disease in Poland, requiring prompt diagnosis.
Can transmit TBE
A rarer but serious viral disease transmitted by the bite.
Hard to notice
Their small size and painless bite make quick detection difficult.
Active from spring to autumn
The activity season lasts much longer than many people think.
How to recognise a tick bite
Watch out for the following signs:
- A visible, attached tick — often unnoticed for several hours
- Redness at the bite site, sometimes with a spreading rash
- Itching or slight skin irritation around the bite site
- Flu-like symptoms in the days after the bite — fever, muscle aches, fatigue
- Ticks noticed after returning from green areas or tall grass
How do we reduce the number of ticks on a property?
We match the method to the size and character of the property:
Acaricide sprays
Effectively reduce the tick population on lawns and in undergrowth.
Site inspection
We identify the highest-risk spots — tall grass, undergrowth, piles of leaves.
Maintenance recommendations
Regular mowing and tidying reduce natural habitats.
Seasonal treatments
Repeated in key months, they increase long-term effectiveness.
Guarantee on the treatment
- Spray or ULV fogging — guarantee up to 3 months after the first treatment

Did you know...?
How long does the risk season last?
0 months
ticks can be active in Poland's climate, from March to November — much longer than most people think.
How to reduce the risk on your own plot?
To reduce the number of ticks, it's worth following a few simple rules:
Mow the lawn regularly
Ticks avoid short, sunny surfaces.
Remove piles of leaves and brushwood
These are ticks' favourite hiding spots in shade and damp.
Limit access for wild animals
Rodents and deer are common hosts that carry ticks onto the property.
Check your skin after time outdoors
A quick check increases the chance of removing a tick early.
Tick bite or mosquito bite? How to tell them apart
Both bites can look similar at first glance, but carry different risks:
| Tick bite | Mosquito bite | |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance of the mark | Possible spreading rash, growing larger over time | A single itchy bump, disappearing after a few days |
| Presence of the insect | The tick often remains attached at the bite site | The mosquito flies away right after biting |
| Health risk | Possible tick-borne diseases (Lyme disease, TBE) | Usually just local skin irritation |
| Recommended action | Remove the tick and monitor the site for a few weeks | Soothe the itching, usually no further action needed |
