Ticks Pest Control & Removal
Ticks are a common pest in Florida year-round. They can be difficult to locate and even more difficult to remove and prevent due to their ability to reproduce rapidly and resistance to popular pest treatments. Ticks are parasitic and can spread serious diseases. Treating and removing ticks as soon as you become aware of their presence is important. The most effective way to eradicate ticks from your yard or home is with professional pest control services. Our experienced exterminators at Champion Termite and Pest Control can inspect your property for all pests, including ticks, and treat the infested areas as needed.

What Are Ticks?
Ticks are arachnids in the same family as mites, scorpions, and spiders. Ticks are parasitic and bite humans and animals to obtain a blood meal. Several types of ticks throughout North America carry serious diseases, and their size varies depending on the type of tick and stage in its life cycle. Larvae are about the size of a grain of sand, while adult ticks can be as small as a poppy seed or as large as an apple seed. Ticks prefer to live in dark, moist places such as tall grass and moist dirt in the shade. Due to their size and preference to hide, it can be difficult to be aware of them until they bite you, your family, or your pets.
Dangers Of Ticks
Ticks can bite humans and animals at all stages of their life cycle. They are infamous for spreading serious diseases to humans and animals, such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. These diseases present painful symptoms, long-term repercussions, and in untreated cases, fatality. Uninfected tick bites cause skin irritation and can trigger allergic reactions in humans and animals.
