Worried about ticks in your lawn? Let us take away the worry with our expert tick control treatment.
Ticks are not only a nuisance, but also a severe health risk, like Lyme disease. Bug Squashers of Maryland uses a complete tick control strategy to protect your pets and loved ones. The following is our step-by-step process of eliminating tick infestations:
Our initial step in our tick control program is a complete property inspection. We review your yard very closely for tick breeding or hiding places like overgrown shrubbery, tall grass, woodland or shaded areas. Knowing where the ticks are active enables us to devise a focused treatment plan.
After we have walked the property, we then concentrate on locating the particular hotspots where ticks will survive best. These hotspots are frequently not readily apparent, like heavy vegetation or wet spots. By locating these hotspots, we can apply treatments where they will be most effective.
Once we have located the hotspots, we implement specific treatments on your lawn. It can be in the way of sprays, granular treatment, or fogging, depending on the case. We treat all the infected areas, including the possible breeding sites. We aim to lower the tick population quickly and efficiently, giving you relief as soon as possible.
While our treatments will diminish the tick population, we also emphasize long-term prevention. We provide guidance on how to keep your yard tick-free by mowing grass frequently, clearing leaf litter, and applying outdoor repellents. Our technicians can also advise on follow-up seasonal treatments to keep your yard tick-free, particularly during peak seasons.
Tick control is an ongoing process. We schedule follow-up visits to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments. If new evidence of tick activity is discovered, we'll come back out to the property and re-treat as necessary to maintain your yard tick-free.
Bug Squashers of Maryland offers effective, long-lasting tick control treatments to protect your home, family, and pets from tick-borne diseases. With our detailed process, your yard will be a more comfortable space.
Ticks can carry harmful diseases and must be caught early. You are at risk if you are outside a lot or live in areas near woodlands. Pets and humans are at risk when ticks are in the area. These are common signs that there are ticks infesting your house or yard.
The most readily apparent indication of a tick infestation is the actual presence of the ticks themselves. The tiny insects suck blood from hosts by attaching to them. Ticks may be on your pets, particularly where there is thick fur, or on your clothing if you've been hiking in the woods. If you have a tick on your skin or on the coat of your pet, you should remove it right away to prevent infection.
A tick bite is typically painless but causes a small itchy, red bump. Check for the bites if you or your pets have been outdoors where ticks are present. Their presence, especially on parts of the skin where ticks prefer to bite (back of the ears or on the skin of an ear, neck region, or the scalp), signals an infestation.
Ticks are blood-sucking insects and can also drop feces. You can see tiny black pepper-like spots where ticks are. They can be seen around your home, where humans or animals lie down, or even inside if animals or humans brought ticks indoors. Although the ticks themselves are not so easy to find, their feces are an early sign of infestation.
Ticks are troublesome to pets and may make them scratch or bite. If your pet is scratching or licking his coat continuously, check for ticks hiding in their coat. Pets may also get lethargic or lose their appetite due to tick bites, which cause diseases like Lyme disease or babesiosis.
If you have seen ticks on or around your house, especially in areas with long grass or thick bushes, that's an indication that they are there. Ticks also like sitting on the tip of grass or bushes so that they can jump on a host, so if you are in the areas, do not forget to check yourself and pets carefully afterwards.
If you have observed any of these signs, don't delay. Ticks can transmit fatal diseases, and it is extremely essential to fix the issue at once.
Although commonly categorized with bugs, ticks belong to the arachnid group, which also includes spiders and mites. They have eight legs and feed on the hosts' blood, including humans, pets, and wildlife. Ticks do not jump or fly but crawl patiently and slowly and wait for a host to walk by. They can stay attached for days if not disturbed.
Ticks in Maryland, specifically the blacklegged (deer) tick, are the vectors of Lyme disease. Anaplasmosis and babesiosis are two other tick-borne illnesses found there. A disease might be passed in one bite if the tick remains attached for more than 24 hours. Fatigue, fever, headaches, and the signature "bull's-eye" rash usually ensue thereafter. Early treatment is optimal, but prevention is the best protection.
Ticks love to live in woods, tall grasses, shrubs, and leaf litter—particularly in moist, shaded conditions. They're on hiking trails, in residential backyards, or in woodpiles. Suburban lawns even harbor ticks when the weather is conducive. Lawn work, trimming encroaching shrubs, and draining excess water can make your yard inhospitable to them.
Dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to ticks. After your pet brings a tick inside, it can fall off and seek a new host—yours. Check your pets regularly after being outside, particularly behind the ears, neck, and paws. One of the most effective methods of safeguarding pets and individuals is through the application of vet-approved tick preventative products.
Although active in spring and autumn, ticks can weather Maryland's winters. Ticks will be active even with some warm winter days. Prevention and awareness are necessary throughout the year, not only in the summer.
At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we offer complete tick treatments for yard, trail, and outdoor living areas. We understand where ticks are hiding and how to safely get rid of them—so you can use your property without worry.
Ticks are more than an annoyance—they're a health risk. Call Bug Squashers and stay protected year-round.
