  Control can help

Ticks are Terrible Trouble

• There are over 80 different tick species in the
  United States. Ticks, no matter which species you
  are talking about, can leave you battling some
  type of issue from just one bite. Need some
  examples? Try Lyme disease and encephalititis for
  starters. Due to these nasty issues, it is
  important to take care of the problem immediately!

Tick Bite Recognition

• A tick bite initially seems like any other insect
  bite that itches. However, it could quickly
  become a larger problem than just an itch. The
  illness can spread to your hands as well as to
  your pets. Pets are especially vulnerable to tick
  infestations, as they can lose weight and become
  anemic. Even worse, pets can die from blood loss
  due to tick bites.

What You Might See

• Of the 80 different types of ticks found in the
  United States, there are 3 that cause the biggest
  issue. One is the deer tick. The deer tick is the
  black legged tick and is the most common. This
  type can cause Lyme disease. Next on the list is
  the American dog tick. Rocky Mountain spotted
  fever is caused by the American dog tick. The
  brown dog tick is the final one. This one does
  not pose a danger to humans, but it does pose a
  health risk to dogs.

Time of Arrival

• Ticks start making their appearance when the
  weather starts to warm. If the temperatures are
  above 40 degrees then you can bet you will see
  adult deer ticks out. If you think there might
  even be a chance that ticks are an issue where
  you live, then it is best to put prevention
  measures in place as spring arrives.

Preventing Ticks

• Wondering what you can do to stop the problem?
  The first step is to give your pets preventative
  medication. Your vet can recommend the best
  medication for your animal. If you are going
  outside where ticks are likely to be, make sure
  you take your repellant with you. Put repellant
  on your clothes as well as your shoes. Mowing
  should be done regularly. Also, just as important
  as mowing, trim all of your vegetation so that it
  is as close to your property as possible.
