American Dog Ticks, Brown Dog Ticks and Black Legged Deer Ticks are the most common species. Infestations have been on the rise here over the past few years, which is a large concern.
Ticks not only cause discomfort and irritation, they are carriers of diseases such as Lyme Disease and Powassan. Ticks cannot hop or fly and must latch on to their targets from elevated surfaces such as tall grass and overgrown wooded areas. The perimeter of your home is susceptible to infestation.
