Do Dogs Increase Your Chances Of Tick Exposure?
Posted by Mosquito SquadDecember 20, 2023
One study suggests that having a pet dog or cat more than doubles your chances of an unwanted tick encounter.
We love our pets. Dogs and cats are not simply parts of our lives, they are considered family members. As such, we value our time with them. Being close to them can combat stress and negative emotions. Having your pets near can also result in finding a tick in your home or on yourself or another family member. Avoiding tick bites is the best way to combat tick-borne illnesses, such as Lyme disease and Powassan virus.
Mt. Juliet Tick Control for Pet Loving Homes
Many times, we think of the health of our pets before we consider our own health and well-being. And even though we put our pets on flea and tick control medications under medical advisement, it doesn’t mean that they have no chance of a tick encounter. As a matter of fact, they could simply become a carrier of a tick, which ends up burrowing its nasty head in another family member! Because our pets go into areas we might not, such as tall grasses and wooded areas, and because they are close to the ground, they become perfect tick transporters.
That’s why we must consider professional Mt. Juliet tick control. Mosquito Squad tick control throughout Mt. Juliet is a proven, trusted, and dependable solution to get rid of tick bites and the diseases they bring.
