A proactive approach to manage the pest and avoid its effect

Worried about ticks when you’re walking, hiking and gardening? Want to learn how to avoid getting bit? This presentation will provide education on the ticks in our area including their identification, the diseases they could carry, their habitat, steps you can take to protect your person, pets and property and what to do if you are bitten by a tick.

 

Please note the focus will be on the pest. It will not be a medical discussion.
