Brown Dog Ticks, recognized by their reddish-brown appearance, typically infest dogs and thrive in warm climates like California. Though they prefer canines, they can bite humans when dogs aren’t nearby.
These ticks grow to about 1/8″ in size but can expand to 1/2″ when fully engorged. As larvae, they have six legs, and as nymphs and adults, they develop eight legs. Quickly removing ticks from your pets helps prevent health issues. Check pets regularly and keep their spaces clean to reduce the chances of tick infestations.
Pacific Coast ticks, frequently found in shrublands and trails between Oregon and Baja California, are also present in Loomis. They are most active during cooler months, especially in April and May. Adults typically feed on large mammals such as deer, cattle, and horses but will also bite dogs and humans.
These ticks are known to spread diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, and bovine anaplasmosis. Tick-bite paralysis has been documented in cattle and ponies. Around 11% of adult Pacific Coast ticks are carriers of bacteria causing Pacific Coast tick fever, a condition that mimics Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
The Western Black-Legged Tick is a common species along the Pacific Coast, from California to British Columbia, where it serves as a primary carrier of Lyme disease. These ticks typically reside in wooded areas, grasslands, and areas near water. They can also be found in scrub-shrub habitats. They are closely related to the Eastern Black-Legged Tick, but are primarily found on the West Coast.
Adult ticks are active from December through early summer, while nymphs peak in April, May, and June. Nymphs tend to feed on smaller animals like rodents and lizards and rarely bite humans or pets. Maintaining a well-kept yard and removing debris can help reduce tick presence.
Our tick control service at Loomis Pest Control begins with a thorough inspection of your outdoor space. Our expert technician will identify areas prone to ticks, like tall grass, dense bushes, and shaded sections of your yard, which are known for harboring ticks.
We’ll also inspect spaces where pets spend time, as they are common carriers of ticks. This in-depth evaluation is essential to ensure that no tick habitat is missed, allowing us to tailor our approach for a safer, tick-free yard.
Our tick control begins with clear communication, asking whether you need treatment inside, outside, or in both areas. For homes with pets, treating both spaces often gives the best results. This step ensures we develop a plan that fits your specific needs.
Afterward, we inspect your yard to identify where ticks are concentrated. We treat up to half an acre using moisture-activated granules that provide lasting protection. If more space needs treatment, additional coverage is available for a fee. For indoor spaces, we use a B&G sprayer for targeted application.
Following your first tick treatment, we provide a complimentary two-week follow-up to handle any remaining ticks. Our technician will re-inspect the treated areas, both inside and outside, to confirm complete tick elimination.
During this visit, treatments may be reapplied to ensure the tick life cycle is interrupted, preventing reinfestation. Our aim is to keep your home and yard free from ticks, ensuring a safe environment for your pets and family.
Serving Loomis and its nearby communities, we’re here to keep your spaces pest-free. Our team is passionate about these areas and always aims to deliver excellent service and proven results.
