Ticks Control Service
About Ticks
- Ticks are parasites found on pets’ bodies and survive by feeding on the blood of other living beings.
- Ticks can latch onto your pet’s fur, and your pet can carry them back to your home. After this, ticks are capable of multiplying in your house. They can pose a severe threat to you and your pet.
- Rentokil PCI’s Integrated Tick Management (ITM) can help you eliminate ticks in your home.
- Ticks belong to the Parasitiformes, a distinctive group of mites that are separate from the main group of mites, the Acariformes. Whether the two groups are more closely related to each other than to other arachnids is uncertain, and studies often recover them as not closely related.
- Within the Parasitiformes, ticks are most closely related to the Holothyrida, a small group of free living scavengers with 32 described species confined to the landmasses that formed the supercontinent Gondwana.
Diseases Transmitted by Ticks to Humans
- Kyasanur forest disease (KFD)
- Crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF)
- Lyme disease (LD)
- Rickettsial infections
Integrated Tick Management Service Details:
Effective tick management essentially requires an integrated approach based on the following:
- Exclusion
- Restriction
- Destruction
- Monitoring
- Involving customers in getting the tick treatment done for the animal by the Veterinarian
- Implementing the preventive measures as suggested by the Rentokil PCI team
ITM service is done for the STRUCTURE ONLY.
For effective results, structure and tick-infested animal treatment are to be done without much gap. ITM is entirely safe for humans and animals.
