What You Need to Know About Ticks
Where are Ticks Found?
Throughout New Jersey, there are many species of ticks. While we see black-legged ticks (deer ticks) in the highest numbers, lone star ticks, American dog ticks, and woodchuck ticks also call New Jersey their home.
Health Risks
When it comes to ticks, Lyme disease is the most concerning health risk. In fact, cases of Lyme disease have been soaring in New Jersey, with 5,027 cases reported in 2017, which is the highest reported total in over two decades.
In Essex County, 207 cases were reported in that time, while neighboring Morris county saw a staggering 650 cases of Lyme disease. Beyond Lyme disease, there are other health risks associated with ticks, including anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Powassan virus.
The best way to mitigate these health risks is to protect your home and yard with Arkadia Eco Pest Control. When you and your family are enjoying the beautiful outdoor life here in New Jersey, make sure you’re exercising caution and engaging in practices to protect yourself from ticks.
The Importance of Tick Control
With tick-borne illnesses at a record high in New Jersey, protecting your family from ticks is more crucial than ever before. While there are ways to protect yourself from ticks as an individual, the best way to protect your home and family from ticks is by working with a dedicated and experienced pest control company.
Both mature and juvenile deer ticks carry Lyme disease. Juveniles are particularly concerning since they’re smaller than the head of a pin. Mature ticks aren’t much larger or easier to spot, either.
While they’re called deer ticks, they’re also happy to hitch a ride into your home via your cat, dog, children, or anyone who enters your home.
A comprehensive strategy for tick control is the most effective way to keep yourself and your family protected.
