Flea and Tick Control

We all know that our pets may have problems with fleas and ticks, but do you know that fleas can also invade your home as well? Humans can be bitten by fleas as easily as your pets can. Flea invasions can be prevented and starts with lawn treatments. If an infestation can gain a foothold, ticks can be even more of a worry. They transmit dangerous diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme’s Disease and many other diseases. If you think you might be vulnerable to flea or tick problems contact 4 Seasons Services for our flea and tick control services.

 

Can Ticks Be Dangerous To Humans?

Like fleas, ticks also feed on blood. They typically live on birds, wild animals, long grass, brush and trees. It is important to check your pets frequently, and even yourself for ticks after spending time outside in wooden areas, long grass, or with other animals. Unlike some other insect bites, ticks bites aren’t usually itchy, but can cause you serious health problems. Ticks carry and transmit a host of hazardous diseases:

• Babesiosis
• Colorado tick fever
• Ehrlichiosis
• Tick paralysis
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever
• Tularemia
• Lyme disease
