Tick control in Charleston

Ticks are small arachnids that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles, posing health risks to both humans and pets.

The Problem

Ticks are small, blood-feeding arachnids belonging to the order Ixodida, typically measuring 3 to 5 millimeters in length. They have a flat, oval body that expands after feeding. Ticks are known for their ability to transmit various diseases, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, making them a significant concern for outdoor enthusiasts and pet owners. They attach to their hosts using specialized mouthparts and can remain attached for several days while feeding. Due to their small size and ability to hide in vegetation, ticks can be difficult to detect until they have already fed.
