Tick Management Program
Western's Integrated Tick Management Program begins with a thorough survey and inspection of the surrounding habitat taking into consideration the 2-year life cycle of the tick. From there, your Western Pest Service Specialist will provide tips for your personal protection and tailor a treatment plan to your household, creating a less inviting habitat for ticks in your yard. Our unique program incorporates habitat-targeted applications to reduce tick populations by identifying areas where ticks are likely to harbor, quest and feed whether they are on a host or living within the landscape habitat. It is the combination of these tactics - what you do and what we do - that will deliver the greatest possible protection against Lyme disease.
According to health officials, over 75% of reported cases of Lyme disease are contracted from a tick encountered on an individual's property. Call Western today and ask about our Integrated Tick Management Program.
As small as they are, ticks pose a serious health risk to you, your family and your pets by transmitting the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The best way to reduce that risk is through a combination of personal protection, landscape management and a professional, optimized treatment strategy. We call it Western's Integrated Tick Management Program.
