Important Things To Know About Ticks

You must make yourself knowledgeable about ticks! Ticks can bite anywhere on the body. Also, they desire moist areas of the body, such as the groin or underarms. Although most tick bites are harmless, ticks can pass on serious diseases when they bite. Therefore, please read the following important information.

  • Ticks come in many sizes and colors, small or large and red, brown, or black.
  • Small ticks may be about 1-2 millimeters, about the size of a pinhead. Larger ticks, as large as 3-5 millimeters.
  • Once attached to you or your pets they feed off of blood, become larger and grow marble-sized.
  • Consider these tick bite symptoms: raised bump at bite site which looks like a target, redness, itching and a burning sensation in area of bite.
  • A tick bite differs from other bug bites because it often stays attached to the skin for days while feeding.
  • Finally, learn the proper technique for removing a tick – see video below –  from you or your pet. Afterwards, keep it in a hard container if you want it checked for a disease.
Barnes Wildlife Control Tick Removal Service recommend the TICK TWISTER® to remove ticks. It does not compress the tick’s abdomen, reducing the risk of transmission of diseases.

How To Remove Ticks From Your Body

If you find a tick attached to your skin, please don’t panic! Simply remove the tick as soon as possible. There are several tick removal devices on the market and we suggested one above. But, a set of fine-tipped tweezers work very well in removing a tick. Just follow the steps below.

  1. Take the fine-tipped tweezers and grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as you can.
  2. Next, pull upward with steady, even pressure. But, don’t twist or jerk the tick. Doing so may cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this occurs the remove the mouth and other parts with the tweezers. If you can’t remove the mouth easily with washed tweezers, leave it and let the skin heal.
  3. After removing the tick,  clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol.
  4. Please, never crush a tick with your fingers. Dispose of a live tick by putting it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/container, wrapping it tightly in tape, or flushing it down the toilet.
  5. As an option you may want to keep the tick for several weeks in case you develop some symptoms suggestive of a tick-borne disease.

If You See A Rash On Your Skin Or Develop Fever Within Several Weeks Of Removing A Tick, Please See Your Doctor. Furthermore, Tell The Doctor About Your Tick Bite, When The Bite Occurred, And Where You Most Likely Acquired The Tick.
