Problem Ticks and Tick Pest Solutions
Ticks! You never really think about ticks until you´re experiencing them, in which case they´re the only thing that you can think about at all. Whether you´re enjoying a stroll through your favorite hiking trail, working on your lawn or getting some bonding time in with your pet at a dog park, there´s always a chance that one of these itchy, invasive little creatures can wind up looking to you for free food and lodging. Still, most consider ticks to be an easy enough problem to deal with. I mean, after all – all anyone has to do is remove the nasty thing. Problem solved, right? Wrong.The Damage from Ticks
Aside from being a general annoyance, ticks (and most infamously here in California – The Western Black Legged Tick) are known carriers of Lyme Disease, which if left untreated can cause flu like symptoms, rashes, problems with the heart, nervous system and much more. In fact, if a doctor prescribed treatment isn´t applied in the earlier stages of the disease, the victim could run the risk of only being able to improve their symptoms, not eliminate them. Suddenly it´s easier to take these little nasties a bit more seriously, isn´t it? Know Thy EnemyTick Biology
The old cliché of “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” was never meant to apply to ticks (or for that matter, any other pest that we at Hearts offer treatments for) but it´s good to be able to understand them and their life cycle. Ticks are pretty much a worldwide problem. However, they tend to thrive in tropical areas with a high enough humidity to keep them hydrated and a dense enough population of host species to keep them well enough fed to undergo their metamorphosis. That´s right. They can transform. They can become bigger, faster, stronger…-
- In the Spring, adult female ticks will lay their eggs. This is usually done rather inconspicuously on the ground.
-
- As Spring progresses into Summer, the eggs hatch into larvae and attach themselves to a host for feeding.
-
- After a few days, the larvae will drop off of their hosts and go through their transformation process to become nymphs. Once this process is complete, they´ll stay where they are until the following Spring when they attach to yet another host.
- After roughly 4-5 days of gluttony, the nymph will once again drop off their host and go through another transformation process, this time molting to become a full fledged, fully grown, FDA approved, licensed and registered Adult Tick.
