Tick Control
San Antonio, TX

Even if you don’t have pets, ticks are a troublesome pest that can cause havoc for your family. Most tick bites are harmless, but some can cause diseases such as Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever due to the germs they carry. Tick bite victims will have a red bump with a rash, red dots on their wrists or ankles, and even flu-like symptoms. You are able to remove a tick yourself, but if symptoms worsen it is best to seek medical attention.

The worst part of a tick bite is that it means you and your family are facing an entire tick infestation. They may have already spread in your home or throughout your yard. Ticks breed quickly and in large numbers so if you find one, there are surely more close by. If you want to quickly and effectively handle a tick infestation, then you’ll need to call an experienced pest management company like Urban Texas Pest Control.

You’ll want professionals that can keep ticks and other pests away. Urban Texas Pest Control was founded to shake up the pest control industry by putting the customer first with excellent service, affordable prices, and warranties for long-term home safety and happiness

The most common cause of ticks entering your home is from a family member or pet spending an excessive amount of time outside in areas where ticks tend to lurk, such as wooded or bushy areas. Ticks, like most pests, are particularly active when the weather is warmer. Ticks attach themselves on your or your pet’s body and then bury themselves into skin. From there, a tick is likely to reproduce, laying eggs near furniture, edges of rugs, or floorboards.

Ticks, like bed bugs, rely on blood to survive and develop. This makes them persistent to find a host and reproduce, which is bad news for any tick infested homeowner.

As mentioned, you’ll want to remove a tick from you, your family, or a pet right away. The longer it is buried within skin, the more damage it does and and the likelihood of disease will increase. You can remove a tick with a fast upward movement with tweezers. If you twist, bend, or try to burn a tick off, it can cause further infection. If you’re worried about any process of this, it could be smart to have a family member or friend try before seeking medical help.
