If you live in Eastern Long Island, chances are you’ve seen your share of ticks. The area becomes more inundated with these disease-spreading pests every year. For homeowners who are hesitant to obtain synthetic tick control treatments, organic tick control such as the use of permethrin-treated tick-tubes can help to prevent dangerous tick-borne illnesses..
Organic tick-control is a highly effective means of controlling dangerous tick populations. Processes such as permethrin-treated tick-tube dissemination can minimize tick populations by eliminating them on rodents and in their dens. Ticks can lay anywhere from 3,000-7,000 eggs at a time, depending on the species, so eradicating them while in their larval and nymphal stages as they often are when feeding on rodents, can make a big impact on the overall tick population you experience on your property.
Addressing tick-control early can help prevent dangerous and even potentially deadly diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and the Powassan virus. These illnesses can lead to symptoms such as fever, chills, severe headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, nausea, and other flu-like symptoms, but can be far more serious. In more extreme cases, sufferers can experience skin lesions, internal organ damage, respiratory or pulmonary issues, and neurological problems such as seizures, palsy, and coma. In rare cases, mostly when the immune system is already compromised, tick-disease can even lead to death. Any suspicion of a tick bite or tick-borne ailments should be immediately addressed with a doctor.
Ticks are abundant on Long Island, and there is no way to guarantee that you’ll never be bitten by one, but obtaining professional treatments can greatly diminish the chances of contracting a tick-borne illness. Homeowners who prefer organic methods of pest control can help minimize tick-populations without bringing chemicals onto their property. Speak to a professional to put together a plan for organic tick control that meets your needs.
