Deer Ticks are found throughout the Northeast including the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire. As a consequence, Maguire Pest Control has developed a tick reduction program to reduce the number of deer ticks in and around your home.

Deer ticks are parasites and must feed on blood to survive and reproduce. They begin their life as tiny eggs, which hatch into larvae. They then molt into a sexually mature eight legged adult that now feeds on deer, small game, and humans. They will then drop off and lay about 3000 eggs, and the cycle will begin again. With our knowledge of this complicated life cycle, the timing of Maguire Pest Control’s applications is designed for the maximum reduction of ticks in and around your home.

90% of Lyme disease cases are due to tick bites during the nymph stage of the insect and most ticks will exist within certain harborages in and around your home. Accordingly, Maguire Pest Control will treat in the spring or summer to reduce nymph ticks and will concentrate on areas where the insects are most likely to reside. An additional application is completed in the fall to reduce the number of eggs that would hatch the following spring.

Tick reduction by Maguire Pest Control would also include advice about personal tick protection for your family and habitat modification to reduce the number of deer on your property. Call us today for more information or click: info@maguirepestcontrol.com
