We Know How to Control Ticks

Q: Where are ticks usually found?

Ticks don't like sunlight, and can be found in heavy, thick leaf litter, thick ground cover around the home’s perimeter and protected areas such as fallen logs, firewood piles, and rock piles.

Q: Where do ticks lay eggs?

Ticks may lay their eggs indoors or outdoors, wherever they feel the area is warm, safe, and soft.

Q: What does a tick bite look like?

A tick bite will appear to be red and swollen and can feel hot to the touch. You may also develop a bull's eye pattern or dotted red patches all over your skin.

Q: How are ticks harmful to your pets?

Ticks can give Lyme disease to your pets, and while your pets can't give you their Lyme disease, they may help spread ticks throughout the home.

Q: How do exterminators get rid of ticks?

There are a variety of strategies an exterminator can use to get rid of ticks. Connect with an Orkin Pro to create an effective ticks treatment plan for your home.

Q: How much does an exterminator cost for ticks?

The cost of a ticks exterminator varies depending on the pest control treatment plan. Get a free quote and contact your local Orkin Branch Office to request a comprehensive pest inspection from an Orkin Pro.

The Science

Risks of Ticks

Learn all about ticks

Disease Carriers

Diseases known to be transmitted by ticks include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, and babesiosis to name a few.

Lyme Disease Carriers

If left untreated, Lyme disease may spread throughout the body, and victims may experience lesions, Bell's palsy, irregular heartbeat, and more.

Potential Harm to Pets

Dogs and cats can get Lyme disease, and they can also carry infected ticks into homes or yards, where they can then bite humans.
