You have seen all the news stories and articles online, you know that ticks living on your property can lead to some serious health problems. But, you are still apprehensive about acquiring tick control services. Why is that? Perhaps it's because you are unsure of a few things about these services like, do they really work? Are they safe? Is it really necessary? Here at Parkway Pest Services, we believe that the answer to all those questions is, unequivocally yes, and not just because we are in the pest control business, but because we know the facts about these pests. Let's take a look at some information about how tick control services work and how it can help to reduce tick numbers on your property and thereby reducing the chance of an encounter with them.
Ticks are most known for their ability to transmit some pretty serious diseases, and most people are worried about Lyme disease, which is transmitted by the blacklegged (deer) tick. In our area, there are other species of ticks here as well that you should be aware of. We also have the American dog tick, which is a carrier of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and the Lone Star tick, which is a carrier of Ehrlichiosis. Any disease that is spread by ticks can be serious and that is why it is so important to protect yourself and family from every tick species in our area.
Ticks are a particularly difficult pest to reduce, especially on your own because of how they get onto your property. Ticks don’t march in like an army of ants attracted by food and water. They are brought in by wild animals. The ticks fall off the animals and then hide in grassy areas waiting for their next host to happen by so that they can latch onto them. Ticks aren't picky. Their next host could be you, a family member, or a pet.
Reducing ticks is most effective with a professional who has the experience, time, and patience to inspect your property and identify tick harborage areas and perform the necessary treatments.
