We know Ticks are a problem in Western Pennsylvania
At Boo’s Bug Stoppers we realize the importance of ticks prevention. We live in a wooded setting ourselves and we 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 bite, they will stick around for 2-3 days
It is a good idea to inspect kids and pets from ticks after they end up in the tall grasses that are on the edge of the forest where ticks love to hang out. You can remove ticks with tweezers. The CDC also recommends that people use an insect repellent that contains 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 Prevention
When Boo’s Bug Stoppers treats for Ticks, 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 treatment plan which is focused on the perimeter of the property or lawn,
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 prevention treatments uses a liquid chemical treatment that is performed 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 to the property.
