Ticks

Description

Ticks are external parasites that feed on blood. They are common in vegetated areas, yards, properties with tall grass, and places where pets or wild animals are present.

Why are they a problem?

• They attach to dogs, cats, and people.
• They can transmit diseases.
• They can remain hidden in the environment, not only on the pet.

Where are they found?

• On pets, especially around the ears, neck, armpits, and between the toes.
• In tall grass or weedy areas.
• In yards with leaf buildup.
• Near areas where animals rest.

Signs of infestation

• Pets scratching frequently or showing irritation.
• Visible attached ticks.
• Sightings on walls close to outdoor areas.

Prevention

• Keep grass short and the yard clean.
• Remove leaves and debris buildup.
• Use regular veterinarian-recommended tick control on pets.
• Check pets after spending time outdoors.
