Tick Control and Prevention in Boise, Idaho
Ticks are grouped in the arachnid family, which means they are more closely related to spiders
and scorpions than other insect classifications. Ticks have four stages in their lifetime. They
start as eggs, which hatch into larvae and mature into nymphs and eventually adult ticks. Once
they are fully mature, female ticks can lay between 3,000-6,000 eggs. That’s a whole lot of
ticks!
These blood-sucking insects aren’t just creepy to look at, but they can also be extremely
dangerous. They are known for transmitting diseases, and tick-related illnesses have greatly
increased in the U.S. in recent years. They can spread diseases to humans and pets, including
dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. If you find a tick on your pet, the best thing to do is take it
to your local veterinarian for treatment.
Ticks usually first appear as a small dark speck on the skin. Once you look closer, you’ll be
able to identify it is a tick. If you find a tick on you or your pet, follow these steps:
- Do not remove the tick by hand
- With tweezers, gently grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible
- Carefully remove the tick with a quick upward motion
- Wash the area around the bite and apply a topical antibacterial medication
If you are hesitant about removing the tick, you can contact an appropriate medical
professional.
