Trusted Tick Control in Queen Creek AZ

The most common ticks in Arizona are the Rocky Mountain Wood Tick, the Blacklegged Tick, and the Brown Dog Tick, and they are most active in spring, summer, and fall. These blood-sucking creatures are carriers of Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Colorado tick fever.

If left untreated, Lyme disease can spread throughout the body, causing fatigue, headache, fever, joint pain, and rashes. While ticks don’t fly or jump, they can latch onto fur, skin, and clothing. Outdoors, they live in wooded and vegetated, grassy areas. Inside, they live in crevices, cracks, or the nest or burrow of their host.

If you suspect you have a tick infestation in your yard or home, call All Clear Pest Control right away. Our professionals will take a look at how severe the infestation is, then recommend a customized extermination plan that fits your unique needs.

Facts About Ticks

Check out these facts about ticks so you can be aware of what you’re dealing with.

  • Ticks don’t jump or fall down on you from above; rather, they crawl up.
  • Ideally, they want to feed on the blood around the head, neck, and ears, where skin is thinner.
  • For most tick-borne diseases, you have about 24 hours to locate and remove a tick before it starts transmitting an infection.
  • Many ticks are tiny and resemble a poppy seed. They get bigger when engorged with blood.
  • Ticks are actually classified as arachnids, and are more closely related to spiders than insects like mosquitoes or flies.
  • Ticks will feed on humans, but also dogs, mice, birds, deer and rabbits.
  • While you may have heard of smothering ticks with petroleum jelly, ticks are able to survive long periods without air so this will not work.
  • Ticks are best removed with a pair of pointy tweezers.
  • If you are infected with Lyme disease, you will notice a bulls-eye rash on your body between three days to a month after the bite.
  • Sometimes, a bulls-eye rash does not appear, but you may experience arthritis in the joints, muscle pain, and meningitis or encephalitis later on.

How To Prevent Tick Bites

So how can you prevent tick bites in the first place? Wear insect repellent and don long clothing, with pants tucked into your shoes. Avoid grassy, brushy, or wooded areas. Do a full-body tick check after working or playing in the yard, paying attention to areas such as armpits, belly buttons, behind ears, on the scalp, behind the knees, and between the legs.
