Things You Should Know about Ticks
They can often be seen on walls and furnishings if the home is infested. The brown dog tick is reddish-brown in color and 1/18th of an inch long when not engorged. Its mouthparts are easily seen when viewed from above. Its body is flattened and shaped like a tear drop. The female’s shield-like area remains unchanged, but the rest of her body stretches and changes from reddish-brown to blueish-gray and increases to almost ½ inch long when she engorges with blood while feeding.

How ValuePest Approaches Tick Control
Successful control of a tick infestation is four-fold. It involves sanitation, indoor tick control, and outdoor tick control, and pet tick control. Pet bedding and resting areas should be given special attention. For example, kennels and dog houses should be thoroughly treated.
Infested pets should either be treated by the homeowner on the same day in which the premises becomes infested or be seen by a veterinarian or a pet groomer.
Careful and thorough application of residual insecticides is effective in gaining control.
Our professional pest removal process includes:
- Inspection – Inspect the areas where the pet lays, plays, and stays.
- Identification – Identify the areas to be treated.
- Determination – Once you have identified the hot spots, you must determine the proper treatment process.
- Control – Ensure the correct application of product.
- Communication – The last part of a successful tick control is communication. Our technician reports what was found during our inspection, what we did about it, and what you can expect from our treatment.
