5 reasons why you need Grasshopper Gardens as your tick treatment partner.
- Reduces risk of tick-borne illness in humans.
The most important benefit of Grasshopper Gardens tick control is how it works to address the threat of tick-borne diseases. These pests hide in lawns and cause potential health risks like skin irritation, fever, aches & pains, rashes, and diseases like babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, tularemia, RMSF, Powassan virus, Lyme disease, and alpha-gal allergies. The U.S. is a hot spot for tick-borne diseases with U.S. News reporting New York as having the 2nd highest tick-borne disease case in 2019. It’s important to understand that with tick populations on the rise, there is an increased risk of contracting these diseases, which if left untreated, can result in serious health conditions and even death.
- Reduces risk of tick-borne illness in pets.
While there are many medications and collars to help protect against ticks, they are not 100% protection for your pets. Just like humans, our pets can contract Lyme Disease from a tick bite with common signs including fever, loss of appetite, painful or swollen joints, lameness that comes and goes, swollen lymph nodes, and lethargy. If left untreated Lyme Disease can lead to damage in the kidneys, nervous system, and heart. By reducing infestations in your yard, you can add a layer of protection for your furry best friend.
- Reduces damage to your lawn.
Ticks themselves do not necessarily cause damage to your lawn, however the potential damage of the other pests that come along with ticks can be. The attraction of other pests can include grubs, worms, and other insects that animals like moles, skunks and racoons like to eat. Those are the pests that can cause sever damage to your beautiful lawn. Stop the chain and order you tick treatment today.
