    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

    While professional treatment is often necessary for an active infestation, you can take proactive steps to make your property less attractive to Ticks:

    Keep grass mowed short and trim bushes
    Create a barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas
    Use tick prevention products on pets
    Wear long sleeves and pants and use repellent when in wooded areas
