Protect Yourself From Ticks With The Following Tips

"All it takes is one bite," says Nathan Grundy, owner of Mosquito Shield. "And ticks are really bad right now." With warm weather bringing people outdoors, this is the time to become tick aware.

According to the Wisconsin DNR website, "Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread by deer ticks, which can be as small as a poppy seed. Deer ticks are common in Wisconsin and live in wooded areas and brushy or grassy areas adjacent to woods. Because of their small size, deer tick bites can often go unnoticed. Now that warmer temperatures have arrived, ticks are out once again."

"It's easy to think you won't get bit," said Nathan Grundy, "but with Wisconsin having 6,379 cases of Lyme disease in 2023 - the highest on record – the numbers suggest that tick bites are increasing, not decreasing which means prevention is key to enjoying the outdoors." WI. To help prevent tick bites, it's important to follow some important steps and they include:

• Avoid tick bites by hiring a tick remediation company

• Create a tick-free zone around your house. Regularly cut your lawn and spray your yard for ticks. Make sure your pet is tick free
• Use a repellent when not in your yard that has been serviced and stay out of tall grass and leaves.

A tick remediation company uses specifically designed sprays to target ticks and other pests. "Our sprays work against ticks, mosquitos, Box Elders, Asian Beetles, Stink Bugs, and more," says Nathan Grundy. But the most important thing isn't just prevention. It's understanding the severity of Lyme disease and other illnesses associated with a tick bite."

"Lyme Disease, if untreated within a certain timeframe, can lead to chronic multiple joint arthritis and lifelong debilitating pain," says Dr. James Bell, M.D.
