Tick Control in Laredo & Corpus Christi
Lyme disease is the fifth most common nationally notifiable disease in the U.S. The disease is a bacterium that is transmitted from the bite of a black-legged tick and is potentially very dangerous for humans and their pets.
As a resident of the Laredo-Corpus Christi area, it is important to understand the need to get protection from ticks and prevent Lyme disease from occurring. You should also know what the harmful effects of the disease are if you do not see the assistance of Mosquito Squad and those services used for the protection of your home and family.
The importance of Getting Protection from Ticks
There are steps you can take to lower the likelihood of a tick bite. When outdoors, areas of your body most susceptible to a tick’s bite should be covered. A good tick repellent containing DEET or Permethrin can help reduce the likelihood of a tick bite. Additionally, enlisting the services of a pest control company who specializes in reducing mosquito and tick populations (such as Mosquito Squad) can help you enjoy your summer outdoors without fear of the disease.
