Tick Prevention in Hilton Head, SC
Ticks can be harmful pests! They can carry the pathogens for ten human diseases and spread a variety of illness including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Anaplasmosis, which can cause symptoms such as fever, headache, chills, and muscle aches. Ticks are among the most efficient carriers of diseases because they attach firmly when sucking blood, feed slowly and may go unnoticed for a considerable amount of time while feeding. Mosquito Joe of Hilton Head is here to keep you informed about why keeping your backyard tick-free is critical, and how our services can provide that additional protection for you and your family.
Pet owners and parents alike are concerned with tick prevention because a tick bite can have serious implications for children and pets. Five of the ten diseases ticks transmit to humans can be transmitted to pets. That is why keeping everyone (furry or not) around your household tick-free is important.
Ticks cannot jump or fly. They can only crawl. Ticks wait for host animals from the tips of grasses and shrubs. When brushed by a moving animal or person, they quickly let go of the vegetation and climb onto the host. To avoid this, use prevention methods to keep ticks out of your yard in the first place.
Let Mosquito Joe of Hilton Head spray your yard in St. Helena Island and set up a barrier for these intruders. Since our barrier sprays target shrubbery, we already zone in on where ticks live and wait for a host.
Don’t let that host be you! Call us today or fill out a form for a free quote.
