We are On Target Tick Control, and we can get those terrible ticks out of your yard – and keep them out. We believe the only good tick is a dead tick! As a Connecticut Tick Control company, we are receiving a high number of calls this spring from alarmed home owners in the Bolton area concerned about the booming tick population. What’s with the population boom? Connecticut had a mild winter and a bumper crop of white-footed mice, unwitting hosts of these pesky arachnids. So come Spring we welcome the mild weather, get into the gardens and yard work. The kids and pets are spending time playing outdoors in the sunshine. Do not put your loved ones at risk for a tick bite – call On Target Tick Control today.
One reason to be concerned is that many more of these creatures have been testing positive for the bacterium that causes Lyme Disease – and worse. 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.
