Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The more you know about ticks, the better you can predict and control their behavior. Here are some quick facts to help you on your way.
Ticks are small, blood-sucking parasites that can be found in grassy or wooded areas. They attach themselves to animals and humans, and can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Signs of a tick infestation include finding ticks on your pets or on yourself, and noticing an increase in tick activity in your yard or in areas where you frequently walk or hike.
You can prevent tick infestations by keeping your lawn trimmed and free of debris, using tick repellent on yourself and your pets when spending time outdoors, and checking yourself and your pets for ticks after spending time in grassy or wooded areas.
If you find a tick on yourself or your pet, use tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and gently pull it straight out. Do not twist or jerk the tick, as this can cause the mouthparts to remain in the skin. After removing the tick, clean the bite area with soap and water and monitor the area for any signs of infection.
Professional pest control services can help by identifying areas of your property that are likely to attract ticks, and implementing a treatment plan to reduce tick populations. They can also provide ongoing monitoring and treatment to prevent future infestations.
