There’s a wide range of pests that can take up residence in your home’s outdoor spaces. However, among all these pests, few are as dangerous as ticks. Ticks, along with being irritating, can carry a handful of dangerous diseases. Because of how harmful ticks can be to both you and your pets, it’s important to keep their numbers under control. To effectively fight these pests without the headaches that come with taking them on alone, call in the pros. Our team uses proven tick control to provide dependable protection to homeowners located all over the Greeneville, TN area.
Our Comprehensive Tick Control Process
To effectively fight ticks and keep them out, our team utilizes a multi-step process. Here’s a closer look at the steps we use to fight ticks and how they work together to bring you protection you can trust:
1. Preventing Tick Infestations
Ticks are generally brought into the outdoor spaces surrounding local homes hidden in the fur of the animals they feed on, like mice and other small rodents. To prevent ticks from ending up on your property in the first place, it’s important to reduce the number of hiding places that these animals can access in your yard. By helping you address these potential hiding places, we’ll help you keep tick numbers lower in the long run.
2. Addressing Active Populations
To address active populations of ticks, our team utilizes top-notch pest control products and targeted applications. With our tick control treatments in the Greeneville area, we’ll significantly reduce the number of ticks in your yard with just one visit.
3. Providing Ongoing Maintenance
Keeping ticks out over time requires ongoing treatment. To maximize protection without sacrificing convenience, we’ll work with you to establish the ideal treatment schedule for your needs.
Why Ticks are Such a Threat
Ticks are stealthy and silent pests, so they can often go under the radar. However, these creatures are a true threat to our well-being, so it’s important to understand what you’re up against. Here are a few reasons to take action right away and protect your property from these creatures:
- Abundance. There are around 90 different species of ticks throughout the United States. These pests are extremely common in the shaded areas beneath our trees, shrubs, and other vegetation, which makes most backyards a prime hotspot for tick activity.
- Rapid breeding. Ticks can produce thousands of eggs at a time, and their eggs only require a couple of weeks to develop into fully-mature adults. So, ignoring this issue can lead to a serious infestation.
- Targeted attacks. Ticks are bloodthirsty arachnids that target people and other mammals. They consume our blood by crawling onto our bodies and finding a soft spot to sink their teeth into. Once attached, they will continue to drain our blood for as long as they can.
- Infectious diseases. While the tick is attached to your body, it will release toxins into your bloodstream. These pests are known to transmit Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and over a dozen different infectious diseases. Furthermore, they can also infect our household pets with these ailments.
- Pain-free bites. Their saliva contains properties that limit pain and itching, which allows them to stay attached unnoticed. This is problematic, as they need to remain attached for over 24 hours in order to infect you with disease. This also makes it difficult to tell when your pets have been bitten, since they won’t typically react to the tick bite, and you won’t be able to see the attached tick under their fur.
- Special senses. Ticks are able to pinpoint the presence of humans and other animals due to ground vibrations and other factors, so a tick population in your yard represents a constant threat to your well-being and peace of mind.
