Why You Should Take Care of Ticks Fast
There are several reasons why our customers opt for seasonal tick treatments, but few are as concerning as the real threat of Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is caused by the bite of an infected tick, after bacteria is passed from a blacklegged (deer) tick to its host.
The disease will touch an estimated 3000 people in Maryland and Virginia this year and has been shown to have lifetime effects on its victims. School-aged children are among the group most at risk for Lyme disease, chiefly because they play outdoors and on lawns where deer ticks are present.
Our team of pest experts are trained in the unique biology of ticks and their habits, we know what’s the best way to eliminate their activity and prevent them from invading your property.
Treatments For All Types of Ticks
Blacklegged Deer Ticks
They tend to hide in dense vegetation waiting for a new host to happen along and brush up against them. When these ticks are found living and resting on your property, there is a good chance that you, your kids, or pets will come in contact with these dangerous blood feeding pests.
American Dog Tick
Even though American Dog Ticks do not survive well indoors, they will wait in the grasses and vegetations for a new host. These malicious insects have pathogens in its saliva that can transmit things like canine tick paralysis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, and babesiosis.
Brown Dog Tick
Brown dog ticks rarely feed on people, but its important to note that they do have the potential to transmit Rocky Mountains spotted fever to humans. In general brown ticks are more of a concern for our pets and have the potential to transmit serious diseases to pets including ehrlichiosis.
