Thinking of ticks is often enough to make people’s stomachs turn. Unfortunately, ticks, the tiny and blood-sucking pests, are common in backyards and gardens.
But, if you’ve noticed ticks on your property, don’t fret. We’re here to help you get rid of them once and for all.
Removing them is essential if we take into account that they transmit a long list of diseases if they hatch into larvae, including Rock Mountain Spotted fever, tularemia, Lyme disease, etc.
We’re going to share effective methods to remove fleas and ticks in your backyard, but first, we’ll share some important information about the identification of tick eggs.
Let’s go!
How to Recognize Tick Eggs in Your Home?
Tick eggs are small, usually around 0.5 mm in diameter, around the size of a poppy seed. They can have an oval or pear shape and have a translucent or whitish appearance, though this differs from species to species.
They are laid in clusters and you will spot them attached to vegetation, leaf litter, or other surfaces that are near the ground. As they grow, they may become more opaque and take on a color that is more similar to the adult tick.
The eggs tend to be glossy and smooth in texture and the colors range from light yellow to light brown.
How to Remove & Dispose of Tick Eggs in a Safe Way
If you have tick eggs in your backyard, make sure you’ve consulted a professional pest control expert who will identify and recommend the best ways to keep these pests under control and remove them safely.
If you have a tick attached to your skin or on your pet’s skin, rush yourself to the doctor right away and avoid taking out the tick on your own. Take the pet to the veterinarian if you have never removed a tick from them before.
