Ticks
Closely related to the mites, but much larger and reliant on vertebrate blood. They are occasionally brought into the house on domestic animals and can be picked up by humans after walking through long grass in an infested area.
Ticks are implicated in the transmission of Lyme disease and medical advice should be sought if a rash appears at the site of a bite. Remove them with a twist to avoid leaving the mouthparts in the skin.
How do I prevent a Ticks?
It's difficult to prevent ticks coming in your home, however there are some things you can do to reduce your chances of getting them:
- Pet maintenance - Applying veterinary approved Tick products to your pet on a regular basis.
- Good housekeeping - Clean your entire home as thoroughly as possible, from top to bottom. Clean out shelves, dust forgotten corners and sweep, mop, and vacuum all floors.
- Vacuum - All over the house as often as possible. Frequently vacuum the areas your pet is around, especially carpeted areas in and any furniture that is frequented by your pet.
- Washing - Wash your clothes and pet's bedding, blanket and other washable items in the hottest water possible.
