Ticks are a considerable problem. Five of the seven ticks known to bite humans and spread diseases, and they want to meet (and bite) you. Ticks are a known hazard when out in the woods, but residents are increasingly encountering ticks closer to home. Around and in the home, actually. Ticks are one of the pests that like to feed on humans, so if a tick is around you, it will probably be after you. Tick bites are bad enough as it is, but given the fact that they can spread diseases, a tick poses a much greater risk than a simple bite. 

Don’t let ticks threaten your safety and peace of mind. Miche Pest Control can make your home safer by eliminating ticks around your house. Call us today for all of your home pest control needs.

All The Places Ticks Like To Hide Out

Ticks can find many places around your home that they like to hide. Here are some examples of places ticks like to hide:

  • Unmown or natural grass areas: Ticks like tall grass, and flock to it.

  • Houseplants that offer lots of shade: Ticks will climb up and into them.

  • Ground-covering plants: Ticks love shade, and will take advantage of ground cover. 

  • Bushes and shrubs: The more bushes, the more ticks.

  • Piles of wood: You see firewood or yard waste, but ticks see home sweet home.

Ticks can find many ways to make a home in your yard, and then find a way to find themselves on you. Don’t run the risk of dealing with ticks. Miche Pest Control is your tick removal company of choice. Let us help you keep ticks away.

Dangerous Diseases Ticks Are Known To Spread

Tick bites are no party in and of themselves, but the most concerning thing about tick bites is what might also come with the bite. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a well-known disease in the United States. Babesiosis, the Powassan virus, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and Lyme disease are other things that can be transmitted. Of particular note, ticks are associated with alpha-gal allergies (AGS), which can potentially affect your quality of life for several years. Infected tick bites are an increasing phenomenon across the United States. Because of this, quality tick prevention is essential to keep your home safe and sound.

Five Helpful Tips To Protect Yourself From Tick Bites

Here are five easy tips to keep ticks under control around your home:

  1. Keep your yard mowed. Longer grass is attractive to ticks, which avoid shorter grass.

  2. Be conservative with ground cover. It’s handy, but also highly attractive to ticks.

  3. Tend to your houseplants. Keeping them trimmed discourages ticks.

  4. Minimize bushes/shrubs. They are beautiful, but also highly attractive to ticks.

  5. Be wary of wood piles. Ticks naturally gravitate to these, and then to you.

These tips can help you decrease the chances you will have to deal with ticks, but ticks are a force of nature, and they are everywhere. Chances are high that ticks will find your property, and then find you.

Customer Reviews

I switched from another pest control company due to high pressure sales/bad billing practices, and switched to Miche. They have been excellent. Excellent customer service, very effective pest treatments, competitive pricing. I highly recommend.
