Don’t Tick Off Your Guests, Protect Them with Tick Control

Posted by Mosquito Squad

December 20, 2023

Are you looking forward to hosting guests and relaxing outdoors this spring and summer? The warmer months are always a wonderful time to soak up the sun, enjoy the marvelous weather, and do the activities that winter kept from you. As great as all these things sound, though, we need to pay close attention to variables that might ruin our outdoor enjoyment. In particular, ticks are returning with a vengeance in the coming months, which is bad news for your outdoor plans. Unfortunately, ticks are just as capable of ruining your relaxation time as they are of showing up as unexpected guests to your outdoor gathering. Not only are ticks creepy, but their feeding behavior is also incredibly invasive. As opposed to the in-and-out blood collecting practices of mosquitoes, ticks can stay embedded in your skin for days at a time. If this wasn’t unpleasant enough, ticks are also the leading cause of vector-borne diseases in the United States. Ticks can live for a few years, a period during which they feed on many victims, and some of the animals they bite are disease reservoirs. For example, deer, birds, mice, and others are key contributors to the spread of Lyme disease. When ticks feed on the blood of infected animals and then bite humans, we are at great risk of contracting the disease. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease, but it certainly isn’t the only one that ticks can transmit. Babesiosis, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain fever, and others are all transmitted by ticks, sometimes with dire consequences.

Ticks are unwelcome in any outdoor setting, especially when you have guests around. Not only will you defend the health of your guests with potent tick control, but you can also ensure your yard is a safe place to spend your time. It’s what you deserve! With the help of the professionals at Mosquito Squad, we can make your tick control dream a reality.
