TICK SPRAYING IS NECESSARY BECAUSE TICKS ARE ALWAYS ACTIVE! 

THE LIFE CYCLE OF A TICK

 

Ticks attack discretely and are capable of transmitting several diseases. The diseases are often transmitted from animals that host ticks to humans and vice versa. Because of these dangers, it is vitally important that such blood-sucking

arachnids are controlled and eliminated. Connecticut is home to various tick

species, but most specifically, the deer tick and the American dog tick. If you

live in the state, you can be certain that these ticks are preying on your family.

 

Knowledge is your best defense. Knowing a little about how ticks live can help

you take steps to protect yourself. All ticks undergo four stages in their lifecycle. These stages are; egg, larvae, nymph, and adults. The eggs are laid by adult females on grass after feeding and detaching from their hosts. The eggs are then hatched into larvae that feed on rodents and other ground-dwelling animals. As the larvae transform to nymphs, they move to feed on larger animals including pets. This carrying effect helps the ticks move long distances in closer to your home and yard. Eventually, the adults will inhabit residential and commercial property and thrive on humans and pets.

 

Many people are not aware that ticks are active all year round. Regardless of the season. Ticks are always nearby and will attack in any season potentially infecting you with the Lyme disease or worse. However, tick infestation skyrockets during the late spring and summer months. During these months, walking in wild areas or having your pets play in bushy grass will easily lead to tick bites. By fall, the population will then reduce and notably in winter. Even considering the reduction in population, control strategies should not be abandoned in Connecticut.
