Why Does My Orlando Yard Have A Tick Problem
Ticks are plentiful in Orlando. The tropical climate of Florida makes it perfect for tick species to live and thrive. The weather here is also perfect for mice, rats, and other animals that pick ticks up and move them around. This is why Orlando residents have such a problem with ticks. Here are a few more reasons ticks are a problem.
Ticks Can Transmit Diseases
While there are several tick species in Florida, there are three that are of the greatest concern in Orlando. They are the blacklegged, American dog, and Lone Star tick. Blacklegged ticks are linked to the spread of Lyme diseases, which can lead to lifelong medical complications and ongoing misery. The American dog tick has a preference for domestic canines, but will bite humans. When it does, there is a potential for the transmission of Rocky Mountain spotted fever and other harmful diseases.

How To Address The Problem Of Ticks In Orlando
There are a few ways you can protect yourself from ticks. Obviously, the first step is to protect your pets, yourself, and everyone in your home by using personal prevention tips, such as purchasing flea collars, wearing mosquito repellent on your legs when you're outside, and doing routine checks for ticks. Early detection and removal of ticks can prevent the spread of diseases-causing bacteria.
Once you've done what you can to apply personal tick prevention, it is time to consider tick prevention in your yard. Everything you do to discourage animals from exploring your yard and coming near to the perimeter of your home will reduce the population of ticks in your yard. Consider removing food sources, water sources, and harborage options to deter animals.
Moisture plays a big role in the development of ticks. They require moist habitats to survive. If you take steps to reduce damp areas around your home, you can have an impact on tick viability.
The greater protection for your yard is only achievable through the application of tick control products. These should be selected and administered by a licensed pest management professional. If you'd like assistance with these, reach out to Green Flag Services. We support Orlando residents by offering industry-leading pest control services. You don't have to live with ticks in your yard.
