Health Problems Caused by Ticks in West Hampton 

Like most blood-sucking pests, ticks are able to spread a number of dangerous diseases with their bites. The most well-known of these diseases is Lyme disease, a bacterial infection that leads to symptoms such as fever, joint pain, and heart problems. Ticks often carry more than one pathogen at a time, and people and pets can be infected with multiple diseases after a single bite.

How to Spot an Infestation

Ticks are visible to the naked eye, and the best way to tell if your home is infested is to keep an eye out for them. Ticks are arachnids, and they have eight legs attached to their flat bodies. When they become engorged after feeding, their bodies swell up to look like small beans. Adult ticks are black or brown in color, and female deer ticks have red markings on their abdomens. If you have pets, you may be able to detect an infestation by checking their fur. If you see groups of ticks crawling in your garden or on your furniture, a significant population of the pests is most likely on the premises.
