Tick Control Company Serving Hartford County CT
When you need a tick control company in and around Hartford County, call On Target Tick Control. We are experiencing higher than normal tick populations this season. In fact, ticks were finding our pets well before spring, and that was a sign that they would be out in force when the warmer weather arrived. As a Connecticut Tick Control company, we have received a high number of calls from home owners fed up with the booming tick population around their homes. So now that school is out and we are all entertaining out of doors, we are at risk of being the next potential meal for the hungry ticks lying in wait all over your yard.
The bad news is that many more of these pests have been testing positive for the bacterium that causes Lyme Disease. State health officials will tell you to wear light colored clothing, pull socks up over your trousers and inspect your body, use an insect repellent, and remove them safely and quickly when they embed themselves in your skin. These measures may stop some ticks from making contact with your skin, but does nothing to kill them. The nymphal tick bodies are tinier than a freckle and get into your home unnoticed on your pets, your clothes, and on your child’s toys. Until they begin to fill up on your blood, you will neither feel them nor see them. We know you are concerned about the disease ticks carry and understand it is not possible to shut your pets and children indoors.
On Target Tick Control Kills Ticks Where They Live…
On Target Tick Control believes the only good tick is a dead tick. The deer tick feeds on white tailed deer, the white footed mouse, chipmunks, squirrels and birds. They happily hitch a ride on their hosts until they drop onto you. They will lie in wait in a moist shady spot until you, your pet, or your child happen by. On Target Tick Control will help eliminate ticks on your property where they live, treating the periphery of your lawn, leafy material at the edge of a treeline, shrubs and stone walls.
On Target Tick Control is a family owned, fully licensed and insured company based in New Fairfield Connecticut. We will set up a treatment schedule to keep ticks at bay so your family may enjoy the warm weather out of doors without worry. Call us for an estimate today at 203-746-6638.
