Is deer control the answer to keeping deer and their ticks out of your yard? Well, it definitely plays a part!
One of the benefits of proper deer control is that you can single-handedly keep ticks from entering your yard on their bodies. Aside from saving your gardens and landscaping from becoming a Bambi buffet, keeping deer away from your outdoor spaces, you get a level of tick control. Is that enough?
Why Marshfield Tick Control is Important
It’s no secret that the Northeastern United States, and Massachusetts particularly, is a hotbed for tick-borne illnesses . The most prevalent of these is Lyme disease, which as widespread as it is, is estimated to be underreported across the United States due to lack of proper diagnoses. Lyme disease, minus the tell-tale bullseye rash, is often thought to be anything from flu to dementia.
But Lyme disease is not the only tick-borne threat we should consider. There were 57 cases of Powassan virus in the U.S. in 2024, with the most affected demographic being individuals over the age of 60. Historically, most cases of Powassan have occurred during the months of May, June, and July, with a second peak period in November . Since 2004, the CDC reports that there have been 397 total cases of Powassan in the United States, with 368 hospitalizations and 50 deaths. 71 of those cases have been in Massachusetts – that’s 18%!
POWASSAN FACT: Minnesota is the only state that has confirmed more cases of Powassan.
Additionally, ticks can do more than make you or a family member ill. They can also affect the health of our beloved pets.
