Reliable Tick Control That Works

Are ticks ruining your outdoor space?

Ticks are more than just a nuisance—they pose serious health risks to your family and pets by spreading diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. At Mares Exterminating, we understand the importance of protecting your loved ones from these dangerous pests.

Tiny Pests, BIG Problems

Ticks are a common concern in the Poquoson, VA area due to the region's humid climate and abundant greenery, which create ideal conditions for these pests to thrive. Common tick species found in this area include the black-legged tick (also known as the deer tick), American dog tick, and lone star tick. These ticks are often found in wooded areas, tall grasses, and shaded spots, making them a frequent threat to both pets and people enjoying the outdoors.

Ticks can transmit dangerous diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis. With the area's proximity to water and natural habitats, tick populations can flourish, especially during the warmer months. Regular tick control measures and yard maintenance are essential to reducing their presence and protecting your family and pets.
