Tick Control
Ticks are small, oval-shaped insects that feed on the blood of people and animals to survive.
They carry many harmful diseases and it can be very frightening when you find a tick on yourself, your child, or a pet.

We are committed to the safety of our employees and customers, always informing you of necessary safety measures, such as avoiding treated areas until they dry.

Are Tick Bites Dangerous?
Ticks can transmit diseases to humans and pets, making them dangerous parasites. They are effective disease carriers because they attach firmly and feed slowly, often going unnoticed for a prolonged period.
Tick-borne diseases include:
- Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF): Most prevalent in Arkansas, carried primarily by the American dog tick.
- Lyme Disease: Caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by blacklegged ticks.
- Ehrlichiosis: Caused by Ehrlichia species and often carried by the lone star tick.
- Anaplasmosis: Spread by blacklegged ticks.
- Southern Tick Associated Rash Illness (STARI): A rash occurring after lone star tick bites.
- Alpha-Gal Syndrome: A red meat allergy triggered by lone star tick bites.
- Tularemia: Spread by the American dog tick and the lone star tick.
While not all ticks transmit diseases, medical consultation is recommended following any tick bite.
