But to have my entire life turned upside down and not even leave the yard is just ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ticks Spread Many Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The United States is a hot spot for tick-borne diseases. While Lyme Disease is the most well known, there are more than a dozen different diseases you can contract from a tick bite. Anaplasmosis, Powassan Virus Disease, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever are only a few examples. If people tell you you are too worried about ticks, it\u2019s because they don\u2019t know how many truly serious illnesses are spread by these blood sucking arachnids.<\/p>\n<p>Complicating the situation is the fact that there are many different kinds of tick native to the US. As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/capecod-ma\/\">Falmouth local lawn service<\/a> we most often encounter the deer tick, but black legged ticks and dog ticks are also problematic. To eliminate ticks from the landscape, our team of highly trained professionals tailor tick treatments specifically to your yard. We identify vulnerable areas of your property and treat them to eliminate existing tick populations.<\/p>\n<p>Controlling tick populations is an ongoing process, as these arachnids are highly mobile and breed quickly.
