“We must protect what matters most and this includes our community from diseases and our pollinators from pesticides”. Erica Brister, President of U.S. Pest Protection.
Mosquito & Tick Treatments is something a homeowner would want to invest in. Ticks and mosquitoes are not something anyone wants to live with, therefore it is paramount that technology partnered with our professional expertise and homeowner education be empowered.
As Tennessee’s Honey Festival founding corporate partner, we pride ourselves on offering education and protection from ticks and mosquitos while at the same time being mindful of our industry’s impact on the state of Tennessee.
According to the Tennessee Department of Health, Tennessee is one of five states that together account for more than half of all spotted fever rickettsiosis cases in the U.S., including Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In Tennessee, Rocky Mountain spotted fever is spread mainly by the American dog tick, and it can become serious or even fatal if treatment is delayed. Victims often mistake early symptoms for the flu, so if you develop a fever, rash, or headache after a tick bite, call your doctor and mention the bite.
Tick Avoidance Is Key In Not Getting Bit
First of all, the first approach to avoiding ticks is to stay out of tick-infested areas. Many people love to hike in forests where ticks and their animal hosts live. Furthermore, this sounds like common sense but sometimes people forget about the tick threat in these areas. In addition, many people tuck their socks into their pants to prevent ticks from crawling up pants legs.
To add, we also forget that our own property can contain tick populations. If your property is visited by wild animals like deer, squirrels, rabbits or other animals they can bring ticks along during their visit. The same goes for stray dogs and cats. Ticks will drop off of the animal after it feeding to wait for the next victim to come along.
Furthermore, adjust the environment on your property to reduce tick populations. Ticks will try to find high grass or scrubs to crawl up on to drop down on a potential animal host for a blood meal. If you keep your lawn and weeds mowed down and trim those shrubs back it will help to reduce tick populations.
Finally, check your pets for ticks. Your pets normally go outdoors and roam around and can come into contact with tick sitting there waiting to pounce on them. This can happen even in a fenced yard because mice and squirrels with ticks may be visiting your bird feeder. Furthermore, while you are at it check the children and yourself for ticks.
As a result, contact a professional pest control company. For more information or to schedule your year-round tick control treatment, contact U.S. Pest Protection.
