Appearance - The most common ticks in Fort Mitchell, AL include the deer tick, American dog tick, and lone star tick. They vary in size depending on species, ranging from 1 mm (about the width of the narrow side of a dime) to over a centimeter long after a good meal. They have eight legs and are members of the arachnid family. Ticks have bodies comprised of a small head and larger body.
Behavior - Ticks survive on the blood of animals including mammals, birds, and reptiles. Although they have a preferred host, ticks will feed on anything available - including humans, deer, livestock and dogs and cats. Ticks consume blood during all four of their lifecycles, and as a result, pathogens (organisms that cause diseases in animals they infect) can be carried throughout all stages.
Living near tall grass, large properties or near any type of area with a decent amount of wildlife may make ticks more abundant in your area. Furthermore, having your pets or yourself and your family walk in these areas may cause a tick or two to hitch a ride back to your home, being the precursor to a potential tick problem.
If you live in a wooded area and have cats or dogs, you are more likely to develop a tick infestation. Since many Fort Mitchell, AL tick species are minuscule, it's hard to spot these parasites, which makes Fort Mitchell, AL tick control especially difficult. They often hitch a ride indoors on your pet, on humans, or on clothing and shoes. After they finish sucking the blood from their host, they will drop off and begin laying eggs. They seek out crevices and cracks indoors. When laying eggs outside, they like long grass.
By cutting your grass short and repairing holes in the home, you can take steps toward preventing a tick infestation. If you have ever seen a tick on your pet, or if Fort Mitchell, AL tick infestations are particularly common in your neighborhood, then you may want to consider giving your dog or cat on a preventative medication.
Serious diseases such as Lyme disease are spread by Fort Mitchell, AL ticks. Having them on your property and in your home can cause health problems for yourself and your family. Pinpointing and treating a Fort Mitchell, AL tick infestation as soon as possible is extremely important. Our professional Fort Mitchell, AL tick control professionals are trained in the most effective tick removal methods.
Excellent customer service from placement of service call to removal. Would highly recommend!
The representative is thorough and efficient.
Another great job for the technician! Always on time, knowledgeable and really, really courteous!
Heartfelt gratitude to the technician!
Active Pest Control guy came to inspect how ants find their way in. He treated every specific area.
I would like to express that this company gives your money's worth! My neighbor highly recommend them to us. Their route manager is professional and courteous. He thoroughly explained the treament plan, and did a same-day service. The technician arrived after 2 hours, and was also able to point out a few wasps nests that I never knew that I had. I am happy that they are meeting our expectations. Their service is awesome and I hope they give incentive to their awesome guys!
Doing business with Active Pest Control is always a pleasure, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for pest control service.
We are extremely satisfied with Active Pest Control. Their office reps are very knowledgeable, and their field reps are experts at what they do. Two reps in particular are very friendly and exceed expectations. Just two weeks ago, my mom had a bad fall, and they recommended we postpone our scheduled treatment. They even offered to get me and my mom some food since the kitchen was empty for the treatment, and I could not leave my mom alone. While one of them got us food, the other even prayed for my mom's quick recovery. Praise God! He then explained to us in great detail the treatment they were going to do. What's not to love about Active Pest Control? That's why I recommend Active Pest Control to friends, family, and strangers every chance I get. I normally don't bother with reviews, but Active Pest Control and their reps deserve all the praise. Not only do they do an excellent job and are quite knowledgeable, they also really care for their customers. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Active Pest Control!!!
