Ticks are among the critters that keep people from being out in nature for too long. Many New Castle residents will rethink walking a hiking trail, exploring a forest, camping, or just relaxing in their yard because of these pests. Ticks are very tiny bugs that stealthily attach themselves to your skin and absorb blood. With animals, they creep onto fur to access their blood. The idea of them being on your flesh is unsettling enough, but these pests can transmit over 15 infections, viruses, and illnesses
Considering the possible dangers, you must learn how to identify and prevent ticks. You don’t want to wait for them to arrive before you do something about them. With these four tips and the help of Moyer Pest Control, you’ll know how to arm yourself and your beloved furry friends.
Ticks are outdoor creatures. They thrive and breed well in areas surrounded by wildlife. If a spot is wooded or has high grass, it’s ideal. Humidity and shade also attract these insects. These kinds of settings are where they will latch onto you and/or your pet. Given this, you must trim your yard with regularity. Groom plants, flowers, and shrubs to keep them from being overgrown and sheltering. Remove decaying matter and organic debris, like leaf piles
Here are facts about common ticks in New Castle:
If there’s the potential for ticks, put on pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Wear boots and high socks as well. Examine your skin and clothes, and your pet’s coat, before returning indoors.
On a routine basis, groom and inspect your pet’s fur. Have on-going discussions with your animal’s veterinarian about deterring and treating ticks.
