How Are Ticks Getting In My Port Isabel Home?

Ticks are parasites, which means that they can find their way inside your Port Isabel home very easily. They maneuver through what is known as parasitical hitchhiking. Simply put, they find a host and go for a free ride. One of the most common modes of transportation for ticks is latched onto your cats and dogs. Whenever your animals spend time outside, they have the possibility of bringing home ticks, especially if it’s between the months of March and October. If you have a Fido or a Fluffy in your life, consider speaking to your veterinarian about year-round tick and flea prevention. Similarly, ticks can also be spread to your property through rodents and wildlife, like squirrels, raccoons, and skunks. Due to the settings that these animals live in before making their way to your property, they very frequently pick up ticks and other parasites like mites. Given the free roam that they have of your yard, they can actually spread these pests very easily. And lastly, people are a very likely host for ticks, particularly after spending time in areas of tall grass, brush, or heavily wooded areas.
