This is Roger Tinker, owner and general manager of all star pest control in Columbus, Georgia. I’m going to discuss some general information about ticks. There are hard texts and soft ticks in Georgia and Alabama. Some of these heartaches include the American Dog Tick, the black legged tick, the round old tick, the lone star tick, the Rocky Mountain tick. Some of the soft ticks are the file tick and the relapsing fever tick. Most ticks do not survive indoors. However, it is essential to identify which tick you infested with some takes do not tack man at all. While other ticks were rarely attacked man different tech harbor does in different places. treatment will vary based on upon which tick you are trading for. In Georgia and Alabama. One of the best ways to reduce tick infestation is to always keep the grass lowest possible. Another thing is to reduce rodent populations as much as possible. Here’s the easy part. cameras on cell phones make it easy to identify which tick you have. Because you can match the picture of infest and tick with the publication of tics, then the correct treatment method can be prescribed for your infestation. It’s important to remember that all takes in gorging themselves with blood that they obtained from a host. This host can be you, your dog your cat ticks out, so may use rodent Berge or other animals as host, therefore depend on the type of tick. Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease are also associated with ticks. Whoever removes a tip from your body should pour rubbing alcohol on the tick and the skin and let it soak for a few minutes. You must not leave any part of the tick in your stand. And this can be accomplished by using a pair of tweezers to get between the skin and the mouth part of the tick and then slowly pull the take away from the skin. A secondary infection can develop if you leave part of the taking your skin. Always clean the area where the Tick was attached to you. Please contact me if I can help you in any way
