Living in Upper Darby provides major perks—for people and biting pests alike. While you’re busy appreciating Naylors Run Park or running a business on Market Street, mosquitoes and ticks are looking for their next meal. As opportunists, they bite indiscriminately, so if you’re in the area when the hunger strikes, you could be their next victim.
Mosquitoes and ticks are public health concerns in Upper Darby and across Pennsylvania. These blood-sucking pests can be found virtually everywhere in the state, where they spread diseases from victim to victim.
Like mosquitoes, ticks are dangerous disease spreaders. Across the state, there are at least 25 species lurking in grassy and wooded areas. They transmit dangerous diseases, including Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and Powassan virus. Blacklegged ticks are the most common and are present everywhere in the state. They’re also the most common vector for Lyme disease.
Common warning signs of a tick infestation include:
Even if you don’t notice these signs, it’s still worth investing in preventative treatments as maintenance. Our tick control in Upper Darby keeps these pests from settling on your property.
Mosquitoes take away from quiet enjoyment in the spring and summer months. Females seek out blood to reproduce, leaving behind swollen, itchy bites as they get their meals. However, those bites make it possible to contract dangerous diseases like West Nile virus and eastern equine encephalitis. Mosquitoes also target dogs, contributing to the spread of canine heartworm disease.
