Ticks are extremely hardy little creatures, and as hosts for a variety of transmittable diseases and infections, it is very important to try to control their population. Ticks pose a serious health risk to those they bite when they are carrying diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and others. Professional tick control can help eliminate ticks and manage their population in order to help protect your family and pets from dangerous infections.
In the past half-century, the CDC has identified a dozen or more new tick-borne illnesses; the U.S. is a hot spot for these diseases, and disease instances have been on the rise. Since 1991, reported Lyme disease cases have roughly doubled. Lyme disease can be extremely dangerous, especially in late-stage and chronic cases. It can become debilitating and ruin your quality of life, but with professional tick control, it is possible to reduce the risk of contracting Lyme or other diseases, helping to ensure the safety of your family.
Tick control helps reduce the possibility of a person or pet inadvertently bringing ticks into your home, which helps protect your family from serious illnesses. Some tick species notorious for spreading Lyme disease, like the black-legged tick or deer tick, are extremely small, making them much harder to detect on the skin or in the hair, especially of a pet. Because ticks can be so easily overlooked, it is even more important to reduce and control populations.
