How LD Tick Control Works
Ticks are small parasites that hide in cool, shady areas, searching for their next meal. With Lawn Doctor of Horry County, we can work to ensure it’s not a family member or pet. With LD Tick Control, we’ll keep ticks out, along with the diseases they can transmit, like Lyme and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Our approach works by:
Controlling ticks. We use powerful products and premium equipment to treat your lawn, quickly and effectively. Our products destroy ticks and get into all the places where they like to hide, cutting down on the population in your lawn dramatically. We can even do so in a natural way if you prefer.
Preventing ticks. We will return during the Myrtle Beach area’s tick season to apply additional control through barrier sprays. These surround your lawn with a shield that protects your family and four-legged friends and ensures new tick infestations don’t occur. You’ll get long-lasting and dependable coverage for the entire season.
Educating you on ticks. In addition to our tick treatments, we’ll explain ways to tick-proof your lawn. This includes steps like removing leaf piles and clutter, as well as pruning back overgrown shrubs and trees. With our strategies, you’ll get another line of defense that can further protect your lawn and loved ones.
Reasons to Secure Professional Tick Control in Myrtle Beach
The more you learn about ticks, the more obvious it becomes that these pests do not belong anywhere near your home. While the traits of these creatures can be disturbing, our crew at Lawn Doctor of Horry County is here to help you fight back and keep your yard protected from these disease-spreading arachnids. To get started, here are some key facts every homeowner should understand about ticks:
- Ticks are abundant. With over 90 tick species thriving in the USA, it’s hard to completely avoid this issue. These pests are common throughout all types of outdoor environments, as long as there is shade. So, you’ll find them in wooded areas, among your thick grass, and in any sort of bushes or shrubbery.
- Ticks carry diseases. While these pests are notorious for their ability to spread Lyme disease, it doesn’t stop there. In reality, ticks in the USA are known to carry 15 different infectious diseases, some of which can be fatal.
- Ticks produce thousands of offspring. When a female tick lays eggs, it can lay up to 8,000 at one time. In addition, these eggs have a rapid maturation process, growing into adults in as little as 5 days.
- Ticks feed on our blood. Ticks consume the blood of a wide range of different creatures, including people and our pets. They can scurry quickly to catch up to their intended victim and crawl onto the body in search of a soft spot. Once they find a suitable place to bite, they will sink their teeth in and attach themselves to their victim. Their bite contains toxins that will enter your bloodstream and leave you exposed to disease. Fortunately, they need to remain attached for at least a day and a half to cause an infection, so there is time to react and remove the creature.
- Tick bites can be hard to detect. The one complication when it comes to treating tick bites in a timely manner is that they can be difficult to notice. That’s because their saliva has specialized properties that reduce pain and itching. When it comes to tick bites on your household pets, these pests can be even more difficult to notice.
