Our Tick Control Company in Tyler Examines Common Tick Myths

Ticks are a pain to have around. In addition to being extremely invasive, ticks can be dangerous, and they’re able to carry a wide range of harmful diseases. Because of the problems that come with tick infestations, it’s important to have some knowledge regarding how to deal with them. Unfortunately, not all of the tick information out there is reliable. Below, we’ll highlight some of the most common tick myths, debunk them, and take a look at how our tick control company helps Tyler, TX residents fight these harmful pests.

Common Tick Myths

Tick myths are widespread, and it can be tricky to tell them apart from factual advice. Here are a few of the most common tick myths to help you get started:

1. All ticks carry Lyme disease.

While they’re certainly capable of carrying Lyme disease, not all ticks do. In fact, only certain species of deer ticks are known to carry Lyme disease. And in high-risk areas, deer tick bites only result in Lyme disease transmission around two percent of the time. Ticks carry other diseases too, like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Bourbon Virus.

2. Ticks only live in the woods.

Although ticks thrive in wooded areas, the animals they prey upon can carry them into many other environments. Because they typically ride around on mice, deer, and other animals, they can easily end up in your home’s outdoor spaces if the conditions are right and they have shelter.

3. Use heat or chemicals to remove ticks.

Attempting to burn ticks off or use chemicals to get them to release you can end in injury and skin irritation. Damaging ticks while they’re latched onto you can also increase the risk of disease by pushing their saliva into your wound. For safer tick removal, simply pull them off with tweezers.
