ticks

Ticks are from the arachnid group. Their food is blood, especially from mammals and birds.


Tick infestations do not pose a serious problem for our homes, as long as they are well insulated and in good condition. But they can become a nuisance if they manage to make their way indoors. On some occasions, in old or dilapidated country houses, ticks can try to feed on us. It is known that there has been an increase in bites since 2004 and therefore diseases caused by ticks.


    Color: the color varies depending on the species. Size: adults are the size of a sunflower seed, although they can reach more than 1 centimeter when filled with blood. Tick larvae can be less than 1 millimeter. Legs: Ticks have only six legs during their larval stage and eight legs during their nymph and adult stages.

I have ticks

What to do if I have a tick problem?

Ticks attach to the skin, our clothes or our hair. They usually wait perched on plants and bushes until we pass by and attach themselves to us. Ticks cannot fly or jump. We often ask ourselves the question, how did ticks get into the house? Or how could it be that I have ticks at home? The normal thing is that they enter the house through our pets. We must be careful when we take the dog for a walk through weedy fields since ticks may be lurking there. A tick infestation can also be started by other animals such as mice or rats that live nearby.

Ticks can transmit serious diseases to us and our pets. They also cause irritation and discomfort.

If you have a tick problem at home, in the garden or in the field, contact professionals.
