Ticks 
A tick is a parasitic insect that requires a host for its survival. Therefore, you won’t notice these pests hiding in wall voids but actually living on mammals, most commonly pets. Ticks are known to feed on humans and transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease.
A One-Time Pest Control Service is recommended for ticks.
