Guaranteed tick control for Austin homes
Ticks are common parasitic arachnids that feed on the blood of their warm-bodied host. They tend to be very small and ovular in shape, and their exoskeleton can range in color from gray or black to orange and brown.
Of the several different types of ticks in Texas, the bite of a deer tick is undoubtedly the most dangerous. Deer ticks are infamous for their ability to spread Lyme disease, which can lead to deadly repercussions in your pets and chronic health issues in humans. If you're dealing with a tick problem, call Stampede Pest Control today.
How does a tick infestation begin?
Tick infestations can be a worry for residents in Austin, Texas, since the hot, humid weather is the perfect climate for ticks to thrive in. Tick infestations usually begin when you or your pet accidentally bring one into your home or yard after it hides in your clothing or your pet's fur.
Once in your home or yard, a tick can lay thousands of eggs, and when they hatch, the ticks will seek out their first hosts to feed on. Because they're incredibly tiny when they're young, they can easily hide in hard-to-see places, like your pet's fur, and invade your home even further. If you're dealing with an infestation, call Stampede Pest Control today.
Can ticks harm you or your pets?
Unfortunately, yes. Because tick bites are painless, it can be difficult to notice a bite until symptoms of the diseases they spread begin to show up. A few harmful illnesses ticks spread are:
Lyme disease
Symptoms of this disease include rash, fever, chills, headache, and fatigue.
Anaplasmosis
This disease causes fever, chills, headache, and muscle aches.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF)
This disease causes the abrupt onset of fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite, nausea, and malaise.
These diseases can lead to deadly or long-term health issues. During peak tick season in Texas, usually the spring and summer months, get in the habit of checking your property for ticks.

How can you prevent ticks in the future?
Tick infestation prevention begins by making sure your property is well-maintained. Shorter grass and a cleaner house make it more difficult for ticks to hide. A few simple habits go a long way:
Tick prevention checklist
- Keep your property well-maintained: mow your lawn and clean your house regularly so ticks have fewer places to hide
- Clean the spots your pets frequent, like their beds, since ticks are likely to hide in your pet's fur
- Treat your pets regularly for both fleas and ticks
- Put away or throw out anything that could attract mice or rats (like open food items or pet food) since rodents are often a tick's first host
