There are many things in nature that most people avoid, things with sharp claws, things with scary teeth, and pretty much anything that buzzes or rattles. But some things that we wish we could avoid, we can't. One of these things is the elusive and sometimes dangerous tick.
If you have ever gotten home from time spent outdoors to find a small black bug half burrowed into your skin, you know what we are talking about. Unfortunately, their size is not directly related to the danger they pose.
Why Ticks Are A Big Concern
You know a creature is dangerous when scientists and doctors recommend you freeze it after it bites you. If you did not know, this is done to help medical professionals determine if symptoms you are experiencing are from a tick that has bitten you. The reason for this is that the diseases ticks can carry and spread are extremely hard to identify which makes finding the proper treatment difficult. That being said, here are just a few of the diseases that ticks are known to spread to humans and pets.
- Lyme Disease
- Heartland Virus
- Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
- Tularemia
- Bourbon Virus
- Tickborne Relapsing Fever
Why Professional Tick Control Beats DIY
When it comes to keeping ticks off your property, it is important that the job gets done right. Doing this involves the careful and precise use of pest control in areas where ticks are known to hide. This is a job best done by a professional and not something easily or safely accomplished by DIY methods. If you do not have the training to handle pest control products that contain dangerous chemicals or the experience to know where to treat for ticks, we recommend leaving the care of your yard to the Frisco tick control professionals.
