TICKS/FLEAS

Ally is always dependable                               always innovative 

Ticks

Ticks are ectoparasites, which means that they survive by feeding solely on the blood of people and animals. Ticks are closely related to spiders and mites. These biting pests have oval-shaped bodies, eight legs, and are wingless. Keep reading for more information on the most common types of ticks in Texas.

Lone Star Tick

Adult Lone star ticks are reddish-brown in color. Females have one identifying white spot on their backs while males have multiple smaller white spots. They also have very noticeable white lines around the top edge of their bodies.

Lone star ticks feed on larger mammals like people, deer, and dogs rather than smaller mammals like rodents.

American Dog Tick

American dog ticks are large, brownish ticks with whitish-gray or yellow markings. Females have marbled markings only on the upper surface of their fronts. Males have the same marbled markings stretching across the entire upper surface of their bodies. American dog ticks feed on a wide variety of animals and people as well. Their favorite host is the domestic dog.

Brown Dog Ticks

Often confused with the American dog tick because of its name and preference for feeding on the blood of canines, the brown dog tick reddish-brown and are without any distinguishing markings. This type of tick rarely feeds on humans, but will if no other host is available.

Blacklegged Tick

Fleas

Fleas are small, wingless and about 2.5 mm long. Their bodies are shiny and reddish brown in color, covered with microscopic hair and are compressed to allow for easy movement through animal fur. Although their bites are not painful fleas can transmit disease such as plague, flea-borne typhus, bartonellosis, flea tapeworm, tungiasis. Signs of flea infestation on your pets are excessive scratching and reddening or losing of hair.
