Ticks are a year-round problem in South Carolina, but their numbers start to go up as early as the spring. We offer regular tick spraying treatments to keep these critters to a minimum on your Charleston property. That way, your pets and kids can freely explore without worry.
Let’s take a look at why this treatment process is so important for local homeowners—and how the Lawn Doctor of Charleston team can make a difference.
Why Tick Spraying Is Crucial For Your Charleston Property
The health effects of ticks have flown under the radar for a long time, but that’s changed over the past fifty years. In fact, more than twelve new diseases have been linked to ticks in the past few decades. While Lyme disease is most commonly known, there’s a wide range of other illnesses to be cautious of.
Here are a few more reasons you’ll want to consider professional treatment:
Ticks love our climate. Ticks are found all around the United States, but they’re drawn to climates that are warm and humid, with abundant wildlife. Unfortunately, that means South Carolina is an ideal breeding ground for all kinds of tick populations, including those tick species that can transmit Lyme disease.
Ticks latch onto pets and kids, too. Ticks are parasites that feed freely on mammals, birds, and even reptiles and amphibians in some cases. Ticks can pose a serious risk to dogs and cats that freely roam your property, and they can also latch onto children. Tick spraying is vital for keeping their numbers down.
It’s easy to overlook tick bites. When ticks crawl onto humans or animals, they bite to feed. Ticks stay latched on for hours and even weeks at a time. While most tick-borne diseases require ticks to be latching and feeding for several hours, bites can often be painless at first—which is why it’s so easy to overlook these tiny critters.
You’ll get a well-rounded approach. Tick treatment from an expert team is more than just a one-and-done job. For local properties, our technicians will implement treatment and offer ongoing maintenance and inspection. We’ll also offer practical recommendations and strategies for your family, too.
