How To Remove a Tick

cta1-150x77

 

 

 

Ticks become active as soon as the air temperatures reach 55 degrees in Andover and surrounding areas. So I thought today would be a great time to talk to you about proper tick removal.

  • First make sure you have fine tipped tweezers to grab the tick as close to the skin as possible.
  • Once you have a strong grasp as close to the skin pull straight up  with good even pressure.  No jerking or twisting as this may cause the mouth part to break off  in the skin. If this happens remove the mouth parts with your tweezers. If you can not remove the mouth parts easily let the area heal naturally.
  • Once the tick is removed clean the area with rubbing alcohol, then with soap and water or a iodine scrub.

If you notice a rash or have a fever in the next few weeks see your doctor and be sure to mention about the tick bite. Control ticks with a barrier spray application from Mosquito Enemy Call Today!  With the temperatures getting warmer it is now time to get on our busy schedule for your first treatment.
