Common Signs to Look Out For

Like most troublesome pests, ticks are usually tiny and like to hide in dark places. This makes it kind of hard to tell when your home has a tick infestation. But worry not! We have identified certain signs that can help you determine whether ticks have invaded your home. Here are the signs.

Tick Sightings

The most obvious sign is seeing ticks on your body, clothing, or furniture. Whether you have seen one or two, their presence should worry you. A female tick can lay up to 5000 eggs at once. If you don’t act fast, they will be crawling all over your home in no time. To best defend against these bloodsuckers, you need to seek the services of a pest control expert the second you spot them in your home.

Ticks on Your Pets

Ticks suck blood from mammals, and your pets are no exception. Have you noticed any unusual scratching from your pets? If yes, this might be a sign the hitchhiking parasites have already attacked your pets. Other signs may include scabs, fever, or bumps on their bodies. You need to keenly check their bodies for ticks and seek the help of a pest control professional.

Red, Inflamed Skin and Tick-borne Diseases Symptoms

When you have a tick infestation, it is possible to have some on you or your family members. The worst part is that their bite is painless, and you cannot know they exist unless you check. Check the warm and humid parts of your body like the groin, armpits, and scalp. Also, be sure to check your body once you have visited an area confirmed to have ticks.

If not eradicated quickly, they may bring Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses to your home. Common signs of these illnesses may include headaches, rashes, fever, fatigue, and body aches. If you or any of your family members have these symptoms, visit a physician for treatment. Also, be sure to call a pest control professional right away.

Avoid DIY Pest Control

If you have a tick problem, don’t try to fix it yourself. Many DIY solutions are usually ineffective. Also, improper use of tick control products can lead to serious health risks. Instead, seek the help of a tick control professional.
