What Are Ticks?

Ticks are small, eight-legged parasites that feed on the blood of their host. They can be found in a variety of habitats in Texas, from wooded areas to grassy fields and even your backyard. Tick infestations can cause many health risks for both people and pets, so it’s important to know how to properly identify and remove them.

Behavior and Characteristics of Ticks

Ticks are most active during the warmer months, but they can survive and reproduce in colder climates as well. They typically feed on a variety of hosts, including humans, birds, rodents, dogs, and cats. Ticks have flat bodies that measure between two to five millimeters long and vary in color from reddish-brown to light gray.

Identifying Tick Infestations

If you find ticks on yourself, your pet or in your yard, you may have a tick infestation. It is critical to take action as soon as possible, since these pests can spread dangerous diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. If the infestation is severe enough, contact Texas Bug Control right away for the best solution.

Understanding Tick Habits

Ticks can enter your home in a variety of ways. They may latch on to clothing, furniture or other items that have come into contact with an infested area. Ticks are also known to climb walls, trees and other structures searching for hosts they can feed on. Additionally, pets that spend time outdoors can bring ticks into the house.
