Risk Factors for Tick Bites

Despite their tiny size, ticks can be a huge danger to your health and happiness. Devon tick control is your best bet to help defend your yard from them

Throughout the outdoor living season, people flock to their yards to savor the great weather and the many opportunities for backyard relaxation - are you prepared to do the same? From backyard gatherings to simple moments like gardening or taking a breath after a long day at work, there are many things you can do in your outdoor living spaces, but these areas are under threat. While the weather is certainly pleasant for humans, this time of year is also a time when many common pests return to peak activity when winter fades, potentially putting you and your outdoor lifestyle at risk. Flies, mosquitoes, and other common flying pests are insects that immediately come to mind when we think of outdoor disruptors; however, you can’t afford to forget about ticks. These tiny parasites have become very common in our region, particularly over the last decade as especially mild summers and lots of hosts, like deer, have become more common. With their burgeoning populations and an ample supply of blood, ticks pose a real threat to your health and happiness. Several factors come into play when considering threats from ticks, and the first is that tick bites are painless, meaning they can crawl onto your person and embed themselves without alerting you. The next worry you need to be thinking about it disease transmission. Ticks are inherently unsanitary creatures because they feed on the blood of deer, birds, and even reptiles, meaning they could have come into contact with the blood of many wild animals before targeting you. Because of this feeding behavior, ticks carry all kinds of bacterial diseases and parasites, potentially putting your health at risk. 

Lyme disease is of particular concern in our region, where we are near the epicenter of this disease’s spread. Indeed, experts estimate that 475,000+ individuals in the United States are infected with this disease each year, and Lyme disease is only one of several different illnesses and allergies spread by these parasites.
