Everyone has heard of ticks, but do you know all the different species and the many tick-associated diseases?

No matter if you are applying in Connecticut or not, it’s the perfect handbook to have near you at all times.
What all does this handbook include?
This handbook includes basically everything you need to know about ticks. The tick biology, tick species, tick associated diseases, personal protection, and all types of management approaches. I mean, just look at the table of contents to get an idea.
Ticks could be bad this season
The ticks have arrived for this year and so have other pests. I was listening to the radio yesterday when the radio host told a story about how he was walking outside and lifted up his arm and he saw a tick on his arm! He mentioned that he hadn’t seen a tick on him in several years. Does this mean the ticks are coming out in full-force this season? If so, you need to be on the lookout and do your research in the Connecticut Tick Management Handbook.
Feel free to reach out and contact us with any questions. Don’t forget Stop the Bites! is an excellent natural control method for ticks anywhere.
