Appearance - The most common ticks in Tucson Area include the deer tick, American dog tick, and lone star tick. They vary in size depending on species, ranging from 1 mm (about the width of the narrow side of a dime) to over a centimeter long after a good meal. They have eight legs and are members of the arachnid family. Ticks have bodies comprised of a small head and larger body.
Behavior - Ticks survive on the blood of animals including mammals, birds, and reptiles. Although they have a preferred host, ticks will feed on anything available - including humans, deer, livestock and dogs and cats. Ticks consume blood during all four of their lifecycles, and as a result, pathogens (organisms that cause diseases in animals they infect) can be carried throughout all stages.
Living near tall grass, large properties or near any type of area with a decent amount of wildlife may make ticks more abundant in your area. Furthermore, having your pets or yourself and your family walk in these areas may cause a tick or two to hitch a ride back to your home, being the precursor to a potential tick problem.
If you live in a wooded area and have cats or dogs, you are more likely to develop a tick infestation. Since many Tucson Area tick species are minuscule, it's hard to spot these parasites, which makes Tucson Area tick control especially difficult. They often hitch a ride indoors on your pet, on humans, or on clothing and shoes. After they finish sucking the blood from their host, they will drop off and begin laying eggs. They seek out crevices and cracks indoors, or dark areas below or within furniture.
By cutting your grass short and wearing insect repellent when doing work in thick brushy natural areas, you can take steps toward preventing a tick infestation. If you have ever seen a tick on your pet, or if Tucson Area tick infestations are particularly common in your neighborhood, then you may want to consider getting your dog or cat vet-prescribed preventative medication.
Serious diseases such as Lyme disease are spread by Tucson Area ticks. Having them on your property and in your home can cause health problems for yourself and your family. Pinpointing and treating a Tucson Area tick infestation as soon as possible is extremely important. Our professional Tucson Area tick control professionals are trained in the most effective tick removal methods.

I was able to get a fast appointment after seeing a new type of critter in our home. Jesse J was fantastic! He told me it was a tailless whip scorpion. He showed me some holes where they or spiders might be coming in, and took great care to spray our home, inside and out. He is professional, kind, fast and thorough. Thanks, Jesse!Adrian Vega came out to service the outside of our home today. He was professional, on time, and thorough. He also took the time to explain some things we can do outside to keep critters away. Thank you, Adrian!
