When mosquitoes are looking for a blood meal, they seek out humans and other mammals, including your family pets. When mosquitoes bite, they can leave behind itchy red bumps that can feel warm to the touch and even begin to swell. Mosquitoes are known carriers of the West Nile virus, yellow fever and several forms of encephalitis. They can even cause heartworm in dogs that have been bitten. Oftentimes wearing insect repellent or trying to cover your skin while outdoors isn’t enough to protect your family from these pests.
If you have pets like dogs or cats, you probably know about fleas. But did you know that you can have these pests both inside and outside your property even if you don’t have pets? If you’ve been getting little itchy bites on your legs or your ankles, or your pets seem to be scratching more than ever before, you may have fleas. Wild animals can actually bring these pests onto your property, or even spread them to your pets. While flea treatments for pets can be effective, pets can still develop allergies to these bites which cause scabs, hair loss and an overall feeling of distress. Inside your home, thorough cleanings of furniture, rugs and pet beds (and even your bed!) can help reduce infestations, flea control can be difficult to fully achieve without the assistance of a Nashville pest control professional.
Ticks in Tennessee are especially bad this year. We have been getting phone calls from people in our Middle TN service area almost daily, saying that the ticks in their yards are worse than they can ever remember. You shouldn’t pick up several ticks just by walking into your back yard and if you do, something must be done! Ticks, especially the blacklegged tick (or deer tick), which can be found in Tennessee is capable of spreading Lyme disease to your pets as well as your family. Lyme disease can cause a rash, fever, flu-like symptoms and can eventually joint pain, neurological problems and sometimes severe fatigue, liver inflammation and heart problems.
