## Frequently Asked Questions
### Q: What diseases can ticks carry?
A: Different tick species can transmit different pathogens. CDC guidance covers Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and other tick-borne illnesses. Risk varies by species and region; seek medical guidance for symptoms or exposure concerns.

### Q: How long can a yard treatment last?
A: There is no universal duration. Product label, weather, vegetation, application method, tick pressure, and provider plan all matter. Ask for the product name, label instructions, treatment area, expected duration, and follow-up terms in writing.

### Q: What does tick control cost?
A: Pricing varies by property size, habitat, treatment method, access, local labor, and follow-up. Request a written quote that separates inspection, treatment, habitat work, and recurring visits before authorizing service.

### Q: Are tick treatments safe for kids and pets?
A: Safety depends on the exact product and how it is applied. Ask for the product label and written preparation and re-entry instructions. Keep people and pets away for the label-directed period and contact a medical or veterinary professional with exposure concerns.

### Q: Can ticks be present in a backyard?
A: Yes. Ticks can be found in leaf litter, brush, tall vegetation, wooded edges, and areas used by wildlife. Risk differs by region and property, so inspect likely habitat and use CDC-recommended personal prevention steps.

### Q: What should I do if I find an attached tick?
A: CDC recommends using clean, fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick close to the skin and pull upward with steady pressure, then clean the bite area and hands. Do not use folklore remedies. Contact a healthcare professional about symptoms, identification, or exposure concerns.
