We will work with you to develop quick and practical solutions to your tick problem, so you, your family, and your furry friends don't have to worry about these pests and the problems they can cause.
The life cycle of a tick typically spans two to three years and includes four stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Female ticks lay thousands of eggs on the ground, usually in leaf litter or vegetation. After a few weeks, the eggs hatch into tiny larval ticks. These larvae seek a host to feed on, such as small mammals or birds. Once the engorged tick larvae finish their meal, they drop to the ground and molt into nymphs.
Nymphs, larger and more active than larvae, seek another host for another blood meal. After feeding, they drop to the ground and molt into adult ticks. Adult ticks then seek larger hosts, such as deer or humans, for their final blood meal.
Mating occurs on the host, and females engorge themselves with blood before dropping to the ground to lay eggs and complete the life cycle.
Ticks are small pests, but a tick bite can cause significant health problems. Here are some of the diseases caused by ticks, the symptoms they can cause, and how to treat them:
There are several different kinds of ticks in Houston, and if one has bitten you and you suspect a tick-borne illness, immediately see a doctor. Early detection is critical to the treatment and prevention of major health issues.
