To get started, we’d like to share some key facts that every local resident should know about ticks.
Basic Facts Local Homeowners Should Know About Ticks
Hoping to avoid those dangerous tick bites? Here are some facts you should know:
- Breeding traits. Ticks reproduce in large numbers in a very short window of time. In fact, female ticks can produce as many as 8,000 eggs at once, with those eggs only needing about 5–20 days to fully mature.
- Targeted attacks. Because they need our blood, ticks target humans and other animals. They have special senses that allow them to detect our presence when we’re nearby.
- Infectious diseases. Tick bites carry the risk of Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and over a dozen additional diseases.
- Potential hotspots. These pests prefer to spend their time in the shade, so they are often found beneath the vegetation in our yards.
- Dealing with bites. If ticks bite you or your pets, you have about a day and a half to discover the bite and remove the creature before they infect you with a disease. We suggest inspecting yourself and your pets regularly for tick bites, and if you find one of these creatures attached, calmly remove it with a pair of tweezers.
