When It Comes to Ticks, an Ounce of Protection Is Worth a Pound of Cure

As you’re more than likely aware, ticks are a huge problem in the New England area. It seems that every person in our area knows someone that has been infected with Lyme disease. The reason for this is quite simple, ticks are highly abundant in our area. Where you have a dense population of ticks, as well as people, you’ll have more cases of Lyme. If you’re worried that your yard may be a breeding ground for ticks, or are concerned that ticks are using your yard as a thoroughfare, worry no more! All you have to do is call the local tick control experts at Mosquito Squad of Worcester at (508) 388-5640!

Ticks are extremely active during the summer months. In fact, right now is when reports of Lyme disease begin to peak. The reason for this is the high abundance of nymph ticks, which are nearly impossible to see, and a large number of people outdoors. Nymph ticks are actually about the size of a poppy seed and can even crawl through the fibers in your socks. If you’re not constantly applying DEET to your body and clothes, you’re leaving yourself vulnerable to one of the more dangerous ticks in our area. In fact, most people never even see the tick that infects them with Lyme disease. Make sure your yard is free of ticks, no matter if they’re adults or nymphs.
