There are over 200 species of ticks found in North America. They feed as an external parasite. Their hosts are birds, reptile and mammals. Ticks transmit the widest variety of pathogens of any blood sucking arthropod. Some human diseases of interest include Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. There are two main types of ticks: hard and soft. Hard ticks are found in the woods. Soft ticks have tough, leathery skin. They can be found in caves, cabins and on birds. Adults (1/4 inch long) have eight legs and are reddish-brown with white or yellow irregular markings on their body. Females are slightly larger than males, and can grow as large as 1/2 inch long after a blood meal. Frequent inspection and quick removal of ticks reduces the chance of infection by Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease and more. In addition, the risk of getting a tick-borne disease is related to the length of time it spends feeding. We provide ticks control services fast and in timely manner in Calgary and area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ticks Extermination in Calgary
Can Ticks Fly? Ticks can not fly, run, or hop in order to infest a host. Instead, they climb up on brushy vegetation and wait for a host to pass by a procedure known as questing.
Do Ticks carry diseases? Ticks carry the bacteria which causes Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Where do they hide? Ticks prefer to hide in grass and shrubs.What is Ticks Questing and Movement? Ticks sense a passing host by detecting carbon dioxide, body heat, odors, moisture, and vibrations created by an approaching host. When the potential host is in range, they hold onto leaves and grasses with their third and fourth pairs of legs, while stretching and waving their first pair of legs. They hold the first pair of legs outstretched, waiting to climb onto the host as it comes into contact with ticks.The tick sensory structures, known as their Haller Organs and located on the ticks first pair of legs, enable the tick to recognize the sensory signals the host gives off.
