Do You Need Tick Control in Sussex? Mosquito Squad Has Your Back!

It's easy to forget about ticks until you find yourself having to remove one that has made you its host. Did you know that in addition to being annoying, these tiny blood-suckers also pose a threat to the health and well-being of the Sussex, WI community? Tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever can cause huge problems for those infected, so it's essential for everyone to be diligent about controlling the tick population in your community.

Because they hide in wooded areas and leaf litter, ticks often go unnoticed. They lie in wait in these habitats and then jump out and latch onto people and animals who happen to walk by.

Mosquito Squad of Waukesha County developed effective treatments and control measures that can significantly reduce the tick population around your home to give you peace of mind as you enjoy your time outdoors. If you want your lawn to be a great place for everyone, tick control is a critical measure.

How Are Tick Populations Controlled?

Much like mosquitoes, ticks can be even more dangerous than they are annoying because of the diseases they can carry. While the two species share some characteristics, like a 4-stage lifecycle and a taste for blood, different methods are required to control them. Ticks seek out leaf litter and wooded areas to lay their eggs in. Once hatched, he larvae and nymphs continue to reside in these habitats. Addressing environments that attract ticks is the first step to preventing them from populating any area.

During the larval and nymph stages, ticks start seeing out blood from small animal hosts, like mice and other rodents, to gain the nutrients necessary for their growth and development into mature adults. Once ticks have matured, they seek out larger hosts, including humans and animals like dogs and other common household pets. Therefore, early control is necessary to ensure they do not reach the mature stage of their life and continue the reproduction cycle.

But don't worry if you don't catch the ticks before they reach maturity! Mature adult ticks can be prevented from spreading disease by applying acaricides to the areas where they live. In addition to these measures, it is important to employ persistent personal protection by diligently checking yourself, your loved ones, and your pets for ticks after you spend time outdoors.
