Ticks Control
Ixodida
Ticks are blood-sucking arachnids that wait on tall grass and vegetation to attach themselves to passing hosts, including humans and pets.
How to Identify Ticks
Proper identification is the first step in effective pest control. Ticks have distinct physical characteristics and behaviors that help distinguish them from other common household pests. Look for these key identifiers:
- Eight legs (as adults)
- Flat, oval bodies that become engorged and rounded after feeding
- Small size (can be as small as a poppy seed)
- Found firmly attached to the skin
Are Ticks Dangerous?
Ticks are notorious for transmitting serious diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Babesiosis. Prompt removal is critical.
Why Do I Have Ticks?
Ticks are brought into yards by wildlife such as deer, mice, and birds. They thrive in wooded areas, tall grass, and dense brush.
How to Prevent Ticks
