Ticks aren’t just annoying; they also carry serious diseases that can harm both people and pets. These blood-feeding parasites spread Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses, making effective tick control services essential for your home. At Sunrise Pest Defense, we tackle existing ticks and prevent further infestation to help keep your family safe.

Ticks may be small, but the dangers they pose are huge. These parasites latch onto humans and animals, feeding on blood and potentially transmitting serious diseases. Unlike other pests that bite and leave, ticks embed themselves in the skin, increasing the risk of infection and disease transmission the longer they remain attached.

According to the South Carolina Department of Public Health, the state’s most pervasive tick species include: Lone Star Ticks, Gulf Coast Ticks, American Dog Ticks, Black Legged Ticks, and Brown Dog Ticks. These ticks can transmit diseases, such as:

• Lyme Disease: Causes fatigue, joint pain, fever, and, if left untreated, can lead to long-term neurological and heart issues.
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever: A severe bacterial infection that can cause fever, rash, and life-threatening complications.
• Anaplasmosis & Ehrlichiosis: Bacterial diseases that lead to flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills, and muscle aches.
• Babesiosis: A parasitic infection that attacks red blood cells, leading to anemia, fever, and chills.
• Tularemia: A rare but serious bacterial infection that can cause ulcers, swollen lymph nodes, and respiratory issues.

Ticks don’t just target humans—they also pose a significant risk to pets. Dogs and cats can suffer from tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and canine ehrlichiosis, which can cause lethargy, lameness, and severe health complications. Since ticks often go unnoticed in pet fur, infestations can grow quickly without visible signs.

Since ticks can survive year-round in mild climates, professional tick control services are crucial for keeping your yard safe. The team at Sunrise Pest Defense helps eliminate existing tick threats and create a protective barrier to stop them from coming back.

Ticks don’t just hide in the deep woods—they can thrive in tall grass, leaf litter, shaded areas, and even well-maintained lawns. At Sunrise Pest Defense, we take a proactive approach to tick pest control, targeting ticks at all life stages to eliminate infestations and prevent them from coming back. Our services include:

• Thorough Inspections: We assess your property to locate tick hotspots, such as shaded areas, brush piles, and tall grass where ticks are most likely to breed and wait for hosts.
• Targeted Treatments: Our specialized treatments eliminate ticks at every stage of their life cycle, reducing both current infestations and future populations.
• Barrier Sprays & Habitat Modifications: We apply safe, effective barrier treatments to repel ticks from high-traffic areas like lawns, patios, and pathways. Additionally, we provide recommendations on habitat modifications, such as clearing debris and trimming vegetation, to make your yard less inviting to ticks.

With a combination of tick removal service and long-term prevention strategies, we help you keep your family healthy.

You can take simple steps to reduce tick populations around your home and lower the risk of bites:

• Keep your grass short: Ticks thrive in tall grass and overgrown areas.
• Remove leaf litter and debris: These create perfect hiding spots for ticks.
• Create a barrier: Place a three-foot-wide gravel or wood chip border between wooded areas and your lawn.
• Use tick repellent: Apply EPA-approved tick repellents to skin and clothing before spending time outdoors.
• Check yourself and pets: After outdoor activities, inspect for ticks and remove them immediately. Young ticks can be the size of poppy seeds, so look carefully. Seek medical attention immediately if you develop any symptoms like a fever or rash.
