One tick bite can cause months of pain
Ticks are tiny bugs that often bite humans to suck their blood. While biting, they often transmit nasty diseases that you don’t want anywhere near your family. Those diseases include:
Lyme disease
The first signs of Lyme disease are fever and fatigue, but the joint pain and rashes can last for months.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
If this bacterial infection from ticks is not treated quickly, it can lead to severe damage for your internal organs.
Ehrlichia
Ticks can often feed on you for multiple days without you knowing, until you experience headaches, chills, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Anaplasmosis
Anaplasmosis can cause fever, muscle aches, and nausea. If left untreated, it can lead to severe illness.
Same-Day Inspection
Ticks reproduce quickly, which means that you could have an infestation on your hands without even realizing there are any in your home! If you find any ticks in your home, our experienced technicians can help. During the inspection, we will:
- Talk with you about the tick problems you have so we can fully understand the situation
- Complete a thorough home inspection to find any ticks, tick eggs, or tick larvae hiding in baseboards, windows, or the edge of rugs
- Examine your yard and area around your home for ticks and signs of ticks
After we’ve discovered all of the ticks on your premises, we will tailor a removal plan to ensure all ticks are successfully removed from your home and yard.
Tick Control Treatment
The only way to ensure ticks have been completely removed from your home and property is to work with pest removal experts. Our professional team at Pestcom Pest Management have the knowledge and expertise to remove all the ticks and tick larvae from your home home, with a guarantee of your satisfaction. On the day of treatment, you can expect:
- Our specialists will schedule a treatment day and time that is convenient for your schedule
- We remove the ticks and apply treatments as needed
- We work with you to manage vegetation and suggest changes that will stop ticks from returning
Our pest removal treatments are effective at eliminating ticks, but they are safe for your family and pets.
Pest Prevention
Even though we will remove all the ticks from your home, there is always a chance of them hitching a ride on you or your pet and settling in your home once more. Dogs can get them from the vet, dog park, or other animals like squirrels and rodents. We can keep ticks and other pests by providing routine pest control visits to prevent another infestation.
Some ways to prevent ticks are:
- Trim thick grass and vegetation on your property
- Check you and your pets for ticks after going on hikes or visiting dog parks
- Add tick-repelling plants to your garden or yard
Your safety is always front of mind for us. We promise to do everything we can to effectively eradicate ticks from your home and keep them from coming back.
Tick Control and Prevention in Boise, Idaho
Ticks are grouped in the arachnid family, which means they are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than other insect classifications. Ticks have four stages in their lifetime. They start as eggs, which hatch into larvae and mature into nymphs and eventually adult ticks. Once they are fully mature, female ticks can lay between 3,000-6,000 eggs. That’s a whole lot of ticks!
These blood-sucking insects aren’t just creepy to look at, but they can also be extremely dangerous. They are known for transmitting diseases, and tick-related illnesses have greatly increased in the U.S. in recent years. They can spread diseases to humans and pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. If you find a tick on your pet, the best thing to do is take it to your local veterinarian for treatment.
Ticks usually first appear as a small dark speck on the skin. Once you look closer, you’ll be able to identify it is a tick. If you find a tick on you or your pet, follow these steps:
- Do not remove the tick by hand
- With tweezers, gently grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible
- Carefully remove the tick with a quick upward motion
- Wash the area around the bite and apply a topical antibacterial medication
If you are hesitant about removing the tick, you can contact an appropriate medical professional.
