ACME Pest Control Service in Mylapore, Chennai, India, will be the best option for controlling dog ticks at home. They provide all pest control services in all locations to prevent them before they infest.
The complete life cycle of a dog tick from egg to adult can take
as little as three weeks or as long as 84 days, depending on the species and
the conditions. Ticks go through four stages in their life: egg, larva, nymph,
and adult.
Female dog ticks attach themselves to their host (a dog or
other mammal), then engorge themselves with blood. Once engorged, the female
will detach and lay anywhere from 3,000 to 6,500 eggs on the ground. The eggs
hatch in about two weeks, when the larval stage begins.
Larvae are very small (about the size of a poppy seed) and
have six legs. They will attach to a host and feed for about five days before
detaching and falling off to molt into nymphs. Nymphs are also small (about the
size of a sesame seed) and have eight legs. Like larvae, they will attach to a
host and feed for several days before dropping off to molt into adults.
The final stage is the adult stage. Adults have eight legs like nymphs and larvae, but they are much larger – about the size of a penny. Male and female ticks mate while they are still attached to their host. Once they have mated, females will detach and lay their eggs, while males remain attached until they die.
