Ticks can transmit disease to many hosts; some cause economic harm such as Texas fever (bovine babesiosis) in cattle that can kill up to 90% of yearling cows. Lyme disease is one of the most well-known illness related to this pest
Ticks can be found in our backyards, under leaves, on ground cover, around walls and near structures and woodpiles where rodents and other small mammals are active.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocol is recommended for effective tick control.
