Ticks may be small, but they pose a serious health risk to people and pets in the Las Vegas area. These blood-feeding parasites can latch onto humans and animals unnoticed, often hiding in tall grass, shrubs, and even backyard landscaping. Once attached, ticks can transmit a variety of dangerous diseases—some of which can cause long-term or even life-threatening health issues.
Ticks are known carriers of Lyme disease, which causes fever, fatigue, joint pain, and in severe cases, neurological problems. Other serious illnesses spread by ticks include Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (with symptoms like rash, fever, and headache), Babesiosis (which affects red blood cells), Anaplasmosis (particularly dangerous for those with weakened immune systems), and Tick-borne encephalitis, a viral brain infection that can cause long-term damage.
Tick control in Las Vegas starts with proper yard maintenance, pet protection, and targeted pest treatments to reduce their presence in and around your home. Regular inspections and preventive care are key to keeping these dangerous pests away.
