Tick Control

Tick Control & Protection for Your Family and Pets

Ticks are more than a nuisance — they are dangerous parasites that feed on blood and transmit serious diseases to humans and pets. As tick populations continue to rise across Metro Detroit, proactive protection is essential. CJB Pest & Mosquito Control provides property‑wide tick control, seasonal prevention, and expert guidance to help you enjoy your outdoor spaces safely. Contact us today to get started.

Tick Biology & Life Cycle

Ticks survive by feeding on the blood of humans, pets, and wildlife. After hatching, they must consume blood at every life stage to survive. Some species require multiple hosts and can take up to three years to complete their life cycle — and many die before finding their next host.

Understanding this cycle is key to effective control: ticks must be targeted at every stage, not just when they are active on hosts.

The Dangers of Ticks & Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is one of the fastest‑growing tick‑borne illnesses in the United States. The CDC estimates actual Lyme cases may be ten times higher than reported. In Michigan, early symptoms often mimic the flu, leading to missed diagnoses and underreporting. Ticks in Southeast Michigan — especially black‑legged ticks — continue to expand their range, increasing risk for:

• Lyme disease
• Anaplasmosis
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever
• Other tick‑borne infections

Early removal is critical: if a tick is removed within 24 hours, the chance of contracting Lyme disease is extremely low.

Tick Checks & Safe Tick Removal

Performing regular tick checks is one of the most effective ways to prevent disease transmission.

• Michigan Department of Health & Human Services Tick Tips
• Use insect repellent with 20–30% DEET
• Wear clothing treated with permethrin
• Shower immediately after coming indoors
• Check your body for ticks
• Remove ticks with fine‑tipped tweezers, pulling straight upward
• Dry clothing on high heat for 60 minutes to kill remaining ticks
• Hunters and anglers: ticks in habitats pose risk, but game meat does not
• Pets can carry ticks indoors — use topical treatments and ask your vet about Lyme vaccination

Protecting your household starts with awareness and fast action.
