Tick Extermination: Keeping Your Environment Tick-Free

Ticks are not just annoying pests; they can also transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. It is crucial to take action to eliminate ticks from your environment and create a safe, tick-free zone.

Understanding Ticks

Ticks are parasitic arachnids that belong to the family Ixodidae. They are ectoparasites, meaning they live on the external surface of their hosts and feed on their blood. Ticks have a unique life cycle, consisting of four stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. They require a blood meal at each stage to develop and reproduce. Ticks are commonly found in grassy and wooded areas and can attach themselves to humans and animals, causing discomfort and posing health risks. 

Common Tick Species

There are several species of ticks found worldwide, but a few are particularly common and known to infest humans and animals. The most prevalent tick species include:

  • Blacklegged Tick (Ixodes scapularis): Also known as the deer tick, it is a carrier of Lyme disease and commonly found in wooded areas.
  • American Dog Tick (Dermacentor variabilis): These ticks are commonly found in grassy areas and can transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia.
  • Brown Dog Tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus): These ticks primarily infest dogs and can transmit diseases to both humans and animals.
  • Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum): Found primarily in the southeastern and eastern United States, it can transmit diseases like ehrlichiosis and southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI).

"Very Professional. Newman pest controls services are effective. I had all the typical bugs we usually get such as: crickets, black widows, ants, and some palmetto bugs. I get these pests every year but this year has been the worst compared to all the years I've been out here in the desert. I called Newman Pest control and Erik the owner personally came out to service my home. He did an amazing job for a good price and was honest about all my pest concerns. I decided to do a bi-monthly service to keep all the pests under control. I highly recommend using Newman you will be satisfied."

"I can't say enough great stuff about Newman Pest Control and would rate them best in the valley! I recently moved but Erik was my guy for about 2 years. Honest, professional, punctual, knowledgable, courteous, and affordable. He also has great communication with his customers. He would call me if he were even going to be a few minutes late and was considerate of the fact that I have pets I dearly love and he cared to keep them safe as much as I did. Highly recommend!"

"Had some bed bugs problem in a house I just took over. Called up different companies. Erik had the most reasonable price and came out the next day to spray as I was expecting visitors for the weekend and I didn't want them sleeping with bed bugs yukk.... Erik said it would take at least a month for the bed bugs to be cleared but after the one spray it seems like it did the job. Thanks so much Erik for helping me in a pinch. Will definitely call again if need be"
