Ticks are dangerous due to the diseases they can transmit to humans and animals. Some of the most common illnesses transmitted by ticks are Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and tularemia. They attach themselves to their host’s skin and feed on their blood, injecting saliva that contains pathogens that can cause infections. Tick-borne diseases can be difficult to diagnose due to the wide range of symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue. However, the illness can become chronic or even life-threatening if left untreated.
Several different factors can cause tick infestations in homes. In some cases, ticks may hitch a ride indoors on animals such as dogs or cats that have been outdoors. They may enter the home through open windows or doors and crawl into carpets and other fabrics to find hosts for their blood meals. Homes located near wooded areas are particularly vulnerable to tick infestation due to the abundance of wild animals that could bring them inside unknowingly. Additionally, certain landscaping materials, such as mulch or woodpiles, can provide shelter for ticks and give them easy access to your home. Contact us now!
Ticks can be found in various places around the home. They hide in dark and damp areas, such as behind furniture, under rugs and carpets, and in closets. Ticks may also inhabit pet bedding, baseboards, crevices of walls, window frames, and even ceiling fixtures. Therefore, inspecting these places regularly for signs of ticks is crucial. Checking outdoor spaces around the house, including yards and gardens, is also vital. Finally, an inspection of clothing worn outdoors should also be done to ensure that ticks are not hitchhiking their way into the house. Learn more about us!
