Diseases Spread by Ticks, Fleas, and Mosquitoes

Parasitic pests like fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes carry a range of illnesses that can be a risk to you, your loved ones, and your furry friends. There are some precautions you can take to protect yourself from these pests, such as applying mosquito spray when going into wooded areas or wearing clothing that does offer a lot of exposed skin, but these only do so much. Worse, these pests are notorious for working their way beneath your clothing unnoticed, which makes quality tick control in Western Pennsylvania crucial. Awareness of these pests and the risks they pose is the first step to protecting your health.

Where Do Ticks Live?

Ticks seek habitat that makes it easy for them to find new hosts. They’ll often sit on the ends of grass or branches waiting for a person or animal to pass by for them to grab onto. You can find these insects anywhere with a lot of vegetation, but particularly at the borders of yards, under leaves, wooded areas, in the presence of mice, and around bodies of water. Be extra vigilant to look for ticks on your body after any trip outside.
