Summer Tick Prevention in Anchorage: Expert Exterminators Share Tips

As the summer months approach in Anchorage, AK, the risk of tick-borne illnesses increases. At Anchorage Pest Control, our team of expert exterminators understands the importance of tick prevention and control. In this blog post, we will discuss the best methods for preventing tick infestations and how our flea and tick removal services can help keep your home and family safe.

Understanding Ticks and Their Risks

Ticks are ectoparasites that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and reptiles. They can transmit a range of diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and anaplasmosis. In Alaska, the most common tick species is the Ixodes tick, which can transmit Lyme disease and other illnesses. For more information on tick-borne diseases, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.

Prevention Methods

To prevent tick infestations, it's essential to take a multi-faceted approach. This includes:

• Conducting regular yard inspections to identify areas where ticks may be present
• Removing leaf litter and debris, which can attract ticks
• Using odor neutralization and sanitation coordination services to eliminate attractants
• Applying tick repellents to clothing and gear
• Wearing protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and pants, when outdoors
