Ticks represent a serious danger to human and animal health , as they can transmit even serious diseases , including:
-
Lyme disease
-
TBE (tick-borne encephalitis)
-
Spotted fever
-
Ehrlichiosis
-
Anaplasmosis
The presence of eggs indicates that the external environment is infested , and that the risk of bites or transmission of pathogens is high, especially if you have pets or children who frequent the garden.
What to do if you find tick eggs in your garden
The presence of eggs should not be underestimated: acting immediately is essential to avoid a widespread infestation .
1. Don't touch them with your bare hands
Always wear gloves and a mask if you decide to intervene directly.
2. Remove them safely
You can vacuum them up with a portable vacuum cleaner (which should be emptied immediately) or collect them with a damp cloth and then burn them or dispose of them in sealed bags .
3. Disinfect the area
Use natural or specific acaricidal products for the treatment of soil and surfaces.
4. Check pets
Carefully inspect dogs and cats: they may have carried ticks into the yard.
5. Consider professional intervention
If you find more than one egg cluster , contact a professional pest control company to safely and effectively treat the entire area.
