DO YOU KNOW THAT…
In Quebec, there are 12 species of ticks. Some species are true vectors of viruses, bacteria and parasites; moreover, they represent the second vector of human diseases, after the mosquito. Once attached to human skin, a tick can remain firmly there for more than 24 hours!
LYME DISEASE
Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of a tick carrying the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and unfortunately, these ticks responsible for transmitting this disease are found everywhere in Canada, including in the province of Quebec. The diagnosis of Lyme disease is sometimes very difficult to make, in addition to a sharp increase in the number of cases declared in Quebec, which means that you must be extra diligent when doing outdoor activities in the summer. Fortunately, the exterminators at Extermination EJ can help you eliminate ticks on your property.
