The Dangers of Ticks

The presence of ticks can place your pets and family in danger. Like any other pest, they can transmit diseases that if not handled can lead to death. Ticks are nasty blood feeders and they’re mostly found in animals such as our pets.

Like any other pests which diseases, ticks can cause major ones. Tick-borne diseases are extremely dangerous as they could affect thousands of people every year. Such diseases caused by those nasty crawlers are lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, rocky mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, southern tick-associated rash infection, tick-borne relapsing the fever, and tularemia.

Ticks have beak-like projections which plunge into the skin of their host. Based on its own kind, a tick can also feed on the host’s blood for hours, days, or even weeks. Tick-borne illnesses consist of lyme disease, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, rocky mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, southern tick-associated rash illness, tick-borne relapsing fever, and tularemia. Out of all arthropods, ticks spread the widest array of disorder-causing organisms.

For most individuals, an infestation of ticks from the garden causes anything from a mild irritation to severe rashes and fevers with aches and pains.

Extreme cases can even result in respiratory arrest and other forms of life threatening shock reactions. The aggravation of tick bites can be avoided through knowledge of tick biology and habitats as well as methods of tick control.

There are seventy (70) species of ticks in Australia. Tick-borne microorganisms exist that can spread infection and cause allergies that could occasionally be life-threatening.

Your chances of disturbing the tick increase by scratching it or trying to remove it, often resulting in the injection of toxic saliva. This is what can cause allergic reactions. In some cases, these can be life-threatening and very rarely, lead to paralysis and death.

How do you get rid of ticks at home?

There are many preventive measures you can do to eliminate ticks if you catch the problem early enough.

Garden Maintenance

It’s important to keep garden foliage trimmed back away from verandas, paths, clotheslines and other areas frequently used. Reduce dense ground covers, and avoid large quantities of lead mulch/organic matter and wines that cover fences.

Personal Protection

It is important to wear protective clothing when working in the backyard. Put on a long-sleeve shirt, long pants a hat and boots. You may also want to apply a personal insect repellent to any areas exposed.

Using Approved Pesticides and Insecticides Only

The active ingredient pesticide is Bifenthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid. This product is diluted with water before being applied to the leaves and grass of your garden.

This treatment will provide a knockdown of the ticks in your garden at the time of treatment.
