You may be surprised to find out that 90 of the 850 tick species across the globe can be found in the United States.

If you have a tick problem in your home, hire a pest control Delray Beach expert right away.

Ticks and You:

What if a Tick AttachesItself to Your Body?

Have you ever wondered what you’ll need to do once you spot a tick anywhere on your body? The moment you see one crawling on your skin, you must have it removed as quickly as possible. To get rid of the tick safely, you’ll need to use a pair of tweezers to pull its mouthparts from out of your skin. However, make sure to avoid squeezing or twisting its body. After having it removed, inspect the other parts of your body for ticks. Next, you must take a shower right away and your clothes must be dried on high heat. This will ensure that none of these hitchhiking pests would cling themselves on your clothing.

What You Shouldn’t Do ifa Tick is On Your Body

Don’t even think about crushing the attached tick with your fingers or removing it with your hands. Ticks are known to cause infections and you wouldn’t want to put your health at risk. In an effort to remove the pest, don’t apply nail polish, pesticides or even petroleum jelly, bleach or any type of chemical solution unless you want to suffer a personal injury.
