On Target Tick Control is the foremost deer tick spraying company serving New Milford CT and western CT. Every spring we get a number of calls from concerned home owners about finding ticks on their pets. As a Connecticut Tick Control company, we can put your property on a treatment schedule to eliminate deer ticks where they live. A mild winter is favorable for survival of the deer tick in Connecticut. The life cycle of these disease carrying arachnids is complex, involving white-footed mice and deer. When the weather warms up, the ticks are lying in wait for their next host. That could be your pets, your children, or yourself.
Lyme Disease is rampant in western Connecticut. Every season many more deer ticks have been testing positive for the bacterium that causes Lyme Disease. State health officials will offer some common sense tips on how to spot ticks on your clothing before they burrow into your skin. That does nothing to reduce their population on your property. 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.
Our Mission at On Target Tick Control is to kill ticks where they live. 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. We clean up the habitat that they enjoy, and kill them. 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.
