Tick Spraying Services
Throughout the past decade, the tick population has increased at an alarming rate. As ticks spread across the United States, they bring with them dangerous diseases like Lyme disease which can be easily transmitted to dogs and humans. Ticks are commonly found in wooded or high-grass areas, but they can thrive in any backyards where there is grass, shrubbery or leaves on the ground. Ticks can also be transported into populated areas and neighborhoods by rodents such as mice, rabbits, squirrels and deer. For these reasons, backyard tick control is becoming more important than ever.
Help Protect Your Home From the Dangers of Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks are parasites that feed on warm-blooded hosts including humans, dogs, cats, and deer. These small pests can cause big problems. They carry a variety of diseases including Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Bartonella, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more. For instance, Lyme disease and other co-bacterial infections are caused by the bite of an infected deer tick, a type of tick which is prevalent in the North East. If untreated, these diseases can lead to a number of health problems and life altering symptoms. These diseases are major health concerns, reinforcing the need to prevent tick bites. Symptoms of tick-borne illnesses include fever, headache, chills, and muscle aches. Ticks are among the most efficient carriers of disease because they attach firmly when sucking blood, feed slowly and may go unnoticed for a considerable amount of time while feeding.
Signs Of Infestation
Tick infestations can occur when even a single tick is brought into the home.
If you have wooded or brushy areas near your home and are outdoors when the weather is warm, it is possible for you to come into contact with a tick. The tick will attach itself somewhere on your body and bury its head in your skin. Ticks can attach themselves anywhere on the body—including under the arms, inside the ears, in the hair and inside of the belly button. Ticks can also attach themselves to your pets.
