Call On Target Tick Control when you want no more ticks in your yard. As a Connecticut Tick Control company, we have helped hundreds of home owners concerned about the tick population around their homes. Ticks have a multi-stage life cycle and depends upon multiple hosts. The white-footed mouse, white tailed deer, chipmunks, squirrels and birds are unwitting hosts of these dangerous arachnids. 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.
More and more deer ticks have been testing positive for the bacterium that causes Lyme Disease. Babesiosis, Human granulocytic anaplasmosis/ehrlichiosis, and the rare but deadly Powassan virus. Wearing light colored clothing with white socks pulled up over your pantlegs, liberally doused with DEET, is about the best advice the State can come up with. 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.
