Boo’s Bug Stoppers Provides Ticks Extermination
Summertime is a time for outdoor play – we want you to be safe
We know Ticks are a problem in Western Pennsylvania
Boos offers Ticks Extermination as part of our pest control offerings. At Boo’s Bug Stoppers, we realize the importance of ticks prevention. We live in a wooded setting and don’t want to think about ticks. They are creepy, spread disease, and are frankly gross-looking. Here in Beaver County, PA, they are responsible for spreading life-threatening diseases. Most people get ‘off’ with chills, nausea, and maybe a fever. But death has sometimes resulted.
- Lyme Disease is a major fear
- Ticks camp out on the grass where children and pets can easily be attacked by them
- Ticks can be removed within 24 hours and probably prevent disease – according to the CDC
- If you are bit, they will stick around for 2-3 days
Inspecting kids and dogs for ticks after they end up in the tall grasses on the forest’s edge, where ticks love to hang out, is a good idea. You can remove ticks with tweezers. The CDC also recommends using an insect repellent containing at least 20% DEET. If you want to take a further step, At Boo’s Bug Stoppers, we have a process that will help protect you and your family and pets.
Boo’s Bug Stoppers Ticks Extermination
When Boo’s Bug Stoppers provides a plan for ticks extermination, our technician will talk to you about any previous sitings. We will discuss your pets and commonly used areas by your family. We will evaluate the property and devise a tick extermination plan focused on the property’s perimeter or lawn. This is part of your overall effort at tick prevention.
- Keep Grass cut short – lower than 5-6 inches – this should be done prior to treatment
- People and pets should remain off of the treated areas until they are completely dry
- Pets should be treated for ticks prior to or at the time of treatment
Ticks extermination treatments use a liquid chemical treatment with a 4-gallon backpack sprayer. The price is based on how many 4-gallon backpacks are needed to treat your property. We can not warranty a tick treatment. However, it drastically reduces the tick population on the property and sets you well on your way to effectively executing a tick prevention plan.
