Let’s Talk Ticks in Buffalo, NY
Mosquito Joe of the Greater Buffalo Region not only rids your yard of pesky mosquitoes, but we take care of ticks too! Did you know that ticks will arrive before mosquitoes and hang around after the mosquitoes are gone? Ticks arrive once the ground temperature is above 45 degrees Fahrenheit, so it’s important to have a plan in place in advance.
Ticks can carry the pathogens for ten human diseases and spread illnesses such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Anaplasmosis. These diseases are major health concerns, reinforcing the need to prevent tick bites. Symptoms of tick-borne illnesses include fever, headache, chills, and muscle aches. Ticks are among the most efficient carriers of disease because they attach firmly when sucking blood, feed slowly and may go unnoticed for a considerable amount of time while feeding.
Pet owners and parents alike are concerned with tick prevention because a tick bite can have serious implications for children and pets. Five of the ten diseases ticks transmit to humans can be transmitted to pets. This is why professional tick control in Buffalo and surrounding areas is crucial! Luckily, our team here at Mosquito Joe is ready to help.

Tips to Prevent Ticks in Buffalo:
Ticks cannot jump or fly, they can only crawl. They sit on the tips of grass and shrubs while waiting for hosts. When brushed by a moving animal or person, ticks quickly let go of the vegetation and climb onto the host.
To avoid this, use these prevention methods recommended by our team:
- Keep grass mowed and trees trimmed.
- Move wood piles away from the home.
- Keep pets out of thickly wooded areas where tick activity is high.
- Move swing sets, sandboxes, and other play areas away from wooded areas.
- Wear long sleeves and pants when walking in wooded or grassy areas to avoid tick bites.
- Wash clothing immediately after coming inside and inspect kids and pets for ticks.
While these prevention tips are a great start, the best way to ensure your yard is fully protected is by leaving it to the professionals. Our team at Mosquito Joe offers expert tick control services, so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces worry-free.
