(prHWY.com) March 7, 2013 - Richmond, VA -- Mosquito Squad, a nationally recognized leader in the business of mosquito and pest control, offers
advice for tick treatment & control for homeowners who are at potential risk for infestation. The company advocates strong preventative measures in addition to regular spray treatments to keep families, pets, and neighbors safe from the threat of tick-carried disease.
One of the most common yet treatable vectors of disease throughout the United States is the common tick, a tiny arachnid more regularly associated as a pest that targets house pets. Unfortunately, despite the relatively widespread knowledge about the danger they pose, many people still rely on treatments that have already been proven to be ineffective.
Such an example that is still in practice is the use of matches or petroleum jelly to force the tick to eject itself from the host. Not only is this dangerous in the case of utilizing a
naked flame for tick control, but it also forces the creature to transmit more saliva onto the bitten location. This increases the risk of pathogenic transfer and perpetuates incorrect treatment methods if education and information are continuously ignored.
In the event that an infestation has been noted, or if it has been approximately 21 days since the last treatment of a known high-risk area, it is important to contact a professional as soon as possible. Mosquito Squad has the necessary knowhow, experience, and equipment to safely reduce the tick and mosquito population of a location, with treatments averaging just 15 minutes per application.
