Kenosha Tick Control

Ticks are small and parasitic, with the ability to latch onto hosts for up to ten days. While they feast, they leave their hosts vulnerable to potentially dangerous diseases. Wisconsin is home to at least 16 tick species, some of which can transmit diseases to humans and animals. Mosquito Squad is here to help protect you and your loved ones from potentially perilous encounters with these pests.

Why do I need Kenosha tick control?

Within the United States, a tick bite has the potential to transmit any one of up to 20 identified tick-borne diseases, including the following:

Lyme Disease

If you’ve heard of this disease, you probably associate it with its bull’s-eye shaped rash. This rash won’t always appear, but it may be seen in up to 80% of the thousands of symptomatic individuals diagnosed with the disease every year. Lyme also causes flu-like symptoms for most people.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Also known for its distinctive skin condition, individuals infected with Rocky Mountain spotted fever may notice flat, pink spots that are usually painless, in addition to the sudden onset of a high fever. Serious consequences may occur if this disease is left untreated.

Anaplasmosis

Fairly mild, those infected with anaplasmosis may experience fever, headache, and gastrointestinal problems.

Babesiosis

The parasites associated with this disease enter the bloodstream, where they will attack red blood cells. This can lead to severe hemolytic anemia, in which your body is unable to produce white blood cells as quickly as they are destroyed.

Canine ehrlichiosis

This disease is spread by at least three different species of tick, and is most often discovered in dogs who frequent places where dogs tend to gather, such as in kennels. The disease can be carried for a long period of time before it manifests. Though any breed of dog can develop serious cases of ehrlichiosis, it is of most concern for Siberian Huskies and German Shepherds.
