The Dangers of Ticks
The primary danger ticks pose to your family and pets is the diseases they spread. Some ticks carry and transmit dangerous pathogens, such as those causing Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, Borrelia miyamotoi, or babesiosis. Professional tick control is the best defense against the serious illnesses ticks can cause.
Even when the biting tick carries no disease, its bite can cause severe infection, especially if you try to remove the bug improperly.
The dangers of ticks no longer wait for you to go fishing at Sutton Falls or camping at Ashland State Park. Our tick control helps keep ticks away from your home.

- Tall grass
- Meadowland
- Damp mulch
- Wood piles
- Leaf litter
- Stone walls
