Tick Alert! Protect Your Family from Lyme Disease

Just when we’re enjoying the great outdoors, we need to be on high alert for ticks. These dangerous pests spread of Lyme Disease as well as other serious illnesses such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.

Ticks like the shade. They seek protection from the sun in ground level vegetation such as high grasses, underbrush, shrubs and woods.

You can protect your family from ticks and tick borne illnesses by having your Giroud Arborist inspect your property to identify high risk areas, cleaning-up shady tick habitats, deer repellant and tick control treatments.
