What are Ticks?

Ticks are tinys insects that feed on the blood of mammals, including humans. They can be found on every continent in the world, even in Antarctica!

In Australia, there are three types: paralysis ticks, brown dog ticks, and bush ticks. The paralysis tick is the most dangerous of the three, as it can cause paralysis and even death in humans and animals. The brown dog tick is less dangerous but can still cause skin irritation and disease in dogs. The bush tick is the least dangerous of the three, but it can still cause irritation and infection.

All three types are potential hazards to human and animal health, so it’s crucial to implement a tick control plan.

How To Prevent Ticks

There are a number of simple steps that you can take to prevent these pests from attaching themselves to you or your pets.

• When spending time outdoors in areas where ticks are common, wear light-coloured clothing so that the pests are easier to spot.
• Keep your grass short, and clear away any weeds or leaf litter. They like to hide in these areas, waiting for a chance to latch on to their next victim.
• In addition, apply a tick repellent to exposed skin.
• Finally, performing regular “tick checks” after spending time outdoors can help to ensure that any ticks that have attached themselves are found.
