With our expert tick treatment for Naperville properties, Mosquito Hunters™ can effectively reduce these pests and protect your home. However, since ticks occupy most wooded and bushy environments, you should always remain aware of their presence, especially when you venture away from your own property. To prevent tick-borne illness, let’s go over some of the common myths about how to properly respond to a tick bite.
Myth #1: Use a substance to remove the tick. This is a common mistake that only makes matters worse. Applying any sort of liquid to the area will not get the tick to release. Instead, it will provoke the tick into spewing more toxins into the bite wound.
Myth #2: Burn the tick. We don’t want you to learn this one the hard way. Ticks have a solid exoskeleton, so applying fire to the attached creature will only result in burning your own skin.
Myth #3: Take antibiotics right away. Another common reaction many people have to a tick bite is to assume they have Lyme disease. This leads them to take antibiotics without consulting a doctor, which is never a good idea. The truth is, ticks can only transfer Lyme disease after they have been attached to a host for at least 36 hours. So, if you find a tick on your skin, just take your time and remove it with some tweezers.
If you follow the tips above and avoid these common mistakes, you can protect yourself from tick-borne illness, even if you are unlucky enough to suffer a bite. To get these pests off your property and reduce your chances of being bitten in the first place, our expert tick treatments are the way to go.
