Tick Control At Elliott Pest Control, LLC

We Provide Experience, Knowledge, Skill, And Dependability In Those Critical Tick Control Situations

Given all the horrible medical implications of Lyme disease, just the sight of any tick is enough to make Mainers cringe, and that’s why at Elliott Pest Control, we provide tick control services to Maine property and homeowners and get rid of ticks in their yards. But not all ticks are the same, and there is one tick in Maine that one must be fully aware of, and that’s the Deer Tick since it is the sole carrier of Lymes Disease.

In Maine, the Deer Tick first showed up in the southern area of the state in the 1980s, but the deer tick has moved along the coast and inland but is found less often in northern Maine. Though most Mainers are now aware of the deer tick, few know that there are 14 to 16 species of ticks that have at one point or another been found in Maine. As an aside, most Mainers think ticks are insects, but they are mistaken. Ticks are arachnids in the same family as scorpions, mites, and spiders.

Regrettably, these small, vampiric blood-sucking critters are pretty common throughout Maine, and the deer tick is more than delighted to hang in your yard holding out their first pair of legs, waiting to climb on you when you brush the place where the tick is waiting. Our trained and experienced tick control team can tell you from personal experience that some ticks will immediately bite into your body quickly. In contrast, some ticks will meander, looking for places like the hair, ear, or other areas where the skin is thinner.

Our Elliott Pest Control tick control specialist is often asked, “Why are so many ticks in my yard?” There are numerous reasons why. Wildlife animals like deer bring ticks to Western Maine properties, as can small rodents like mice, chipmunks, and even your pets if they are free to wander about your property. Ohh, and speaking of pets: you should check your pets for ticks.

But once ticks get onto your property, ticks will locate the best area for survival: areas with tall grass, moist dirt, and lots of shade since they love the dark and moisture. Even if you have a yard with mowed grass, ticks will find areas along the edge of the well-manicured grass, where they can discover low-hanging bushes or plants along the ground where they can hide.
