Signs you have them
- Ticks on pets after walks
- Ticks crawling up walls and curtains (brown dog ticks)
Why it matters
They can carry diseases, including ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Lone star tick bites are linked to alpha-gal allergy.
How we treat it
A whole-yard treatment of grass and brush edges with a granule. Ticks found inside the home are treated like a flea job.
Treating the whole yard? See yard pest control for fleas, ticks, chiggers and mosquitoes.
Prevention
- Keep grass short and cut back brush at yard edges
- Keep pets on tick prevention
- Check people and pets after time outdoors
