Why do we need Ticks Control  Services?

As per the CDC, Local tick species have been linked as vectors of many diseases which threaten human health. Ticks are carried into our yards by mice, squirrels, rabbits, and also by birds, deer, and raccoons. They wait for the chance to stick themselves onto humans and pets in search for blood. Ticks need blood which contains a protein that is essential in their development. Adult female ticks will find suitable areas to nest and reproduce, laying thousands of eggs from which larvae emerge. The most active times of the year for tick activity are in the early Spring and in Fall. However, a tick bite will be possible at any time in between. With cases of Lyme and other dangerous tick born disease on the rise, control is a necessity. Please call our licensed and experienced technicians at Environmina Pest Control to protect your family against Tick borne diseases.

What is a Tick?

Ticks are tiny arachnids, eight-legged bloodsuckers related to spiders and mites. They latch onto warm-blooded animals, including humans, and feed on their blood for several days before detaching. While they’re usually painless when attached, ticks in New Jersey can be dangerous because they can transmit a variety of diseases through their bite.

New Jersey is home to several tick species, including the infamous:

• Blacklegged Tick (deer tick): This tick is notorious for carrying Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne illness in the US.
• American Dog Tick: This common tick transmits Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a serious bacterial illness.
• Lone Star Tick: The bite of this tick can cause a red, meaty allergy bump at the bite site, in addition to transmitting diseases like ehrlichiosis.

These diseases can cause a range of symptoms, from fever, chills, and fatigue to muscle aches, joint pain, and even neurological problems. Left untreated, some tick-borne illnesses can lead to serious health complications.
