TICK CONTROL
No one wants to spend their summer worrying about ticks. Ticks are known carriers of vector-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, and it only takes one bite for these diseases to spread. That’s why having a tick control plan in place is crucial for homeowners. Simplex Pest Control technicians are experts in tick prevention and treatment. Our service begins working immediately to kill ticks on your property. Rest easy this tick season, knowing you have the best service available for pest control.
STEP-BY-STEP TICK CONTROL
Frequent inspections and treatments during peak tick season help keep populations down for more peace of mind. When you work with Simplex Pest Control, here’s what you can expect:
- Once you schedule your free tick inspection, our experts will walk the area and recommend the best treatment options for your home.
- When it’s time for your scheduled service, our technicians will identify the areas that need treatment. They will move any toys, pet bowls, and lawn furniture out of the way and make sure to avoid water sources and gardens before they spray your yard for ticks.
- A barrier tick treatment will be applied to areas where ticks reside, such as tall grass, weeds, transition zones where the lawn borders a forest, overgrown areas, and footpaths or walking trails.
- Your Terminix technician will make recommendations to create a tick-safe zone through landscaping. This includes keeping the grass cut short and trimming vegetation.
- Tick control applications can last anywhere from four to six weeks. We’ll make sure to schedule your next inspection before we leave.
HOW TO GET RID OF TICKS
Ticks are found throughout the United States, typically in areas with tall grass, vegetation, and wilderness. If you find yourself as an unwilling host for one of these pests after spending time outdoors, it’s best to remove it immediately. To remove a tick, carefully grasp the tick with tweezers near the head and close to the skin. Then, pull upward with steady, even pressure to remove the tick. Finally, clean the bite area with soap and water once the tick is removed.
If these pests find their way indoors, they can be much harder to remove. Some ticks can use carpets similar to how they use grass outside. They can lay their eggs within the carpet fibers, couch cushions, and pet bedding–waiting to latch onto the next host once they hatch. To kill ticks in your home, you can wash bedding in hot water, steam carpets and area rugs, and vacuum frequently. It’s also best to steam-clean hard-to-reach areas like baseboards, cracks, and crevices.
BENEFITS OF TICK CONTROL
Ticks can be hard to manage and even trickier to spot. Our technicians are trained to find all their hiding places and prevent them from coming back. That’s why it’s best to leave your home in the hands of our experts at Simplex Pest Control and schedule your free tick inspection today.
