Customized Service Options for Tick Control
Common Tick Species in Florida
Here are the primary culprits we deal with around Florida:
Lone Star Ticks
These ticks are easily identified by the white spots on the back of female ticks. Often found in wooded areas and parks, they’ve also adapted to suburban environments. Lone Star ticks can transmit ehrlichiosis, a bacterial infection that causes flu-like symptoms.
American Dog Ticks
Despite their name, these ticks are happy to latch onto humans as well as dogs. They’re often found in grassy areas and along trails. American Dog ticks are known carriers of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a serious bacterial infection that requires prompt medical attention.
Blacklegged Ticks (Deer Ticks)
The infamous carriers of Lyme disease, blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks) are a significant concern in our area. They prefer wooded, brushy habitats and are often associated with deer populations. These ticks can also transmit other diseases like anaplasmosis and babesiosis.
Tick Habitats
Ticks thrive in our humid Florida climate, particularly in wooded areas. However, they’re adaptable pests that can also be found in:
- Grasslands and meadows
- Public parks and recreational areas
- Residential yards, especially those bordering wooded areas
- Areas with high deer or rodent populations
Ticks often hide in tall grasses, brush, and under leaves, waiting for a host to pass by. That’s why keeping your yard tidy and free of excessive vegetation is an effective strategy to reduce tick populations.
Signs of a Tick Infestation
While ticks may be small, their impact on your family’s health and comfort can be significant. As your neighbors and fellow Floridians, we understand the unique challenges posed by our local tick populations. Here are some telltale signs that you might be dealing with a tick infestation:
- Frequent tick bites on family members or pets
- Discovering ticks in your home or on your furry friends
- An increase in tick-related health concerns, such as Lyme disease
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to reach out to your local tick control experts at Arrow Environmental Services.
