Ticks are tiny but persistent. They will climb brush, shrubs or grass up to 24\u201d high and wait for a host. Once attached, a tick will find a warm area on the body. Depending on the tick species and life stage, they can remain attached and feed from their host for up to ten days.<\/p>\n
Additionally, an adult female tick can lay anywhere between 1,500 and 5,000 eggs at once. If 2-3 ticks are effectively eliminated from your property this fall, you\u2019re preventing as many as 15,000 eggs from hatching and emerging next spring.<\/p>\n
Tick-borne diseases are serious. The Centers for Disease Control reports that between January 1, 2023, and August 17, 2023, there have been 467 reported cases of Lyme Disease, 279 of Anaplasmosis and 21 of Babesiosis in Maine, an increase from previous years. This could be credited to an increase in the amount of ticks as well as from individuals spending more time outdoors. Having a professional technician provide a spray treatment in the fall, can eliminate a greater number of ticks and prevent eggs from hatching in the spring.<\/p>\n
