Tick Pest Control

Understanding Wood Ticks

Wood ticks, also called American dog ticks, are a common species found in wooded areas. These arachnids are reddish-brown in color, have eight legs, and are larger than many other tick species. Female wood ticks can grow up to the size of a small grape when engorged, while males remain smaller.

What Do Ticks Eat?

Ticks are parasitic arachnids that rely on the blood of their hosts for nourishment. Their sharp mouthparts are designed to pierce the skin, allowing them to attach securely and feed on their host’s blood.

The Tick Life Cycle and Feeding Habits

Ticks undergo a complex life cycle consisting of several stages:

Larvae: After hatching, tick larvae usually feed on small mammals or birds, such as mice or sparrows.
Nymphs:  As they mature, nymphs seek larger hosts like deer, dogs, or other medium-sized animals to feed on.

Adults:  Adult ticks, the most likely stage to attach to humans, dogs, or other large mammals, require a blood meal to reproduce.

How Ticks Obtain Nutrients

Unlike traditional feeding behaviors, ticks obtain all their nutrients from blood. Once they have completed a feeding, ticks can survive for extended periods without another meal—sometimes up to a year or more, depending on the species and life stage.

Ticks and Disease Transmission

Ticks are known carriers of several diseases that can be transmitted during feeding, including:

  • Lyme Disease
  • Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
  • Ehrlichiosis

These illnesses make it crucial to take precautions when spending time in tick-prone areas and to perform thorough tick checks on yourself and your pets after outdoor activities.

How do I get rid of ticks?

Ticks are a common concern in outdoor spaces, but there are effective steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and your pets.

Steps to Prevent and Remove Ticks

Wear Protective Clothing

When venturing into areas where ticks are common, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants.

Tuck your pants into your socks to create a barrier that prevents ticks from crawling onto your skin.

Apply Tick Repellent

Use repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or permethrin on your skin and clothing to repel ticks and minimize the risk of bites.

Perform Thorough Tick Checks

After outdoor activities, carefully inspect yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks.

Focus on hidden areas such as the scalp, behind the ears, under the arms, and in the groin area.

Remove Ticks Promptly

If you find a tick attached to your skin, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp it as close to the skin as possible.

Pull the tick straight out with steady, even pressure. Avoid twisting or jerking, as this may leave parts of the tick embedded in the skin.

Dispose of Ticks Safely

Place the tick in a sealed container or flush it down the toilet.

Avoid crushing ticks with your fingers, as this can increase the risk of infection.

Treat Your Yard and Pets

For ongoing tick problems, consider professional insecticide treatments for your yard.

Consult your veterinarian for tick prevention solutions for your pets, such as collars or topical treatments.

Stay Alert to Tick-Borne Illnesses

Ticks can carry diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. If you develop symptoms such as fever, headache, fatigue, or a rash after a tick bite, seek medical attention promptly.
