Steps to take when discovering a ticks…

Discovering a tick indoors can be alarming, as ticks carry diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Here’s a concise guide to address the situation:

Identify and Isolate: Determine the tick type—black-legged, dog, or brown dog tick. Limit access to the area, especially for pets and children.

Protect Yourself: Wear gloves and long sleeves before handling ticks or cleaning.

Thorough Cleaning: Wash bedding and clothing where the tick was found in hot water, then dry on high heat. Vacuum the area thoroughly, paying attention to corners and crevices. Dispose of the vacuum bag or clean the canister outdoors.

Tick Removal: Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick close to the skin. Pull upward with steady pressure—avoid twisting or jerking. Clean the bite area and your hands with alcohol or soap and water. Dispose of the tick by submerging it in alcohol, sealing it in a container, or flushing it.

Monitor and Prevent: Watch for symptoms after a bite and consult a doctor if needed. Prevent future infestations by treating pets, maintaining your yard, and using professional pest control if necessary.
