Pest Management Services: Ticks
Ticks are a nuisance across your property and home. These pests survive by feeding on human and animal blood for as long as they can stay attached to a source. The blood-sucking bugs are brown in color, range in size and grow as they latch and feed.
Homes and yards across the state of New York can be hotspots for ticks. The insects live within tall grass, trees, plants and shrubs, and can cause serious health problems if they bite you.
Why Worry About New York Ticks?
Warm weather means everyone wants to spend more time outdoors – especially your household pets. Ticks can carry an array of diseases (Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and more) and spread them to humans and animals.
Symptoms of tick-borne illness can include the following:
- Skin rashes
- Neck stiffness
- Headaches
- Weakness
- Fevers
- Muscle pain
If you find even a single tick with possible origins in your home, it’s best to seek tick control immediately, as to stem the possibility of more ticks becoming prevalent. Ticks can lay up to 3000 eggs at a time, making their ability to reproduce one of the most alarming features about them!
Along with this, their tendency to latch on to people and pets to feed makes them extremely mobile, meaning tick nests can span great lengths throughout your property. Remember, ticks can go from person to person and pet to person, so inspection among family members is paramount when a tick is located.

Year-Round Tick Treatment Process
Our Pestechnologists begin by treating your home in the spring, the season when hungry deer ticks are increasing their activity after a winter of hibernation and begin to appear in the nymph stage.
A second treatment is done in the summer; this is essential, since outdoor activities and tick populations are both at their seasonal peak, making you most susceptible to bites.
We then repeat once more for a final treatment in the fall. This is known as a “control period” as nymph and adult ticks are most abundant in early autumn. It is important to remember, though, that the season does not end there; adult ticks are active even with snow on the ground.
