Find Relief from Ticks in Eagle Lake

Posted by Mosquito Squad

July 19, 2024

In a place like Eagle Lake, where ticks have everything they need to flourish, it makes sense to be concerned about whether these pests have taken over your backyard. Ticks carry and transmit illnesses that can cause a whole host of serious health problems. It's no wonder that tick control is a major concern for many East Lake residents - and why so many people like you are turning to Mosquito Squad for help.

Why do I need Eagle Lake Tick Control?

Ticks are small arachnids commonly found in wooded and grassy areas, and they pose a significant health risk due to the diseases they can transmit. In Wisconsin alone, there are at least sixteen tick species that have been identified. The incidence of tick-borne diseases is on the rise, with Lyme disease alone affecting over 475,000 Americans annually.

Common Tick-Borne Diseases include the following:

  • Lyme Disease often presents with a distinctive bullseye rash and can lead to debilitating neurological and joint issues. It accounts for 80% of all tick-borne diseases diagnosed in the United States.
  • Babesiosis attacks red blood cells, causing a special kind of severe anemia. It can be treated with antibiotics.
  • Ehrlichiosis affects white blood cells, leading to high fevers and severe flu-like symptoms. Doxycycline can be used to treat the effects of the illness.
  • Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is known for its abrupt, high fever and a distinctive rash that spreads across the body. A vaccine has not yet been developed, and if not treated early, it can be fatal.
  • Tularemia, or rabbit fever, can cause skin ulcers and swollen glands.
  • Alpha-gal syndrome, while not technically an illness, causes a severe red meat allergy that can be life-threatening.

Each of these diseases carries the risk for lifelong consequences, and some may even result in death. The only way of avoiding illness is to avoid tick bites in the first place, making tick control an important component of planning for your summer.

How can I control ticks in Eagle Lake?

When the weather gets warmer, many Eagle Lake residents like you begin their search for effective methods for controlling ticks. Professional pest control is one of the most reliable means of helping to protect you and your family. Mosquito Squad's tick control approach targets high-risk areas with a potent barrier treatment spray. This spray takes care of adult ticks upon contact, disrupting their life cycle. The treatment also forms a protective barrier, considerably reducing tick populations and preventing larvae from reaching adulthood. With our subscription plan, a technician will automatically revisit your property every 21 days for another application of the treatment, maintaining your defenses against ticks.

You may want to consider combining our highly effective spray with our unique tick tube treatment. These tubes are filled with insecticide-treated cotton, and when mice collect it for their nests, the ticks that attach to those mice die off due to the poison.
