Answer the Call of a Great Need

Mainely Ticks’ affiliate is currently servicing York and Cumberland counties in Maine, just two of 1,531 counties in the United States with an established deer tick population. The number of U.S. counties now considered to be of high-incidence for Lyme disease has increased by more than 300% in the northeastern states and by approximately 250% in the north-central states.

Why Get into the Tick Control Business?

• The number of Lyme cases reported annually in the U.S. has increased nearly 25x since national surveillance began in 1982.
• 95% of vector-borne diseases reported (within U.S. boundaries, excludes territories) in 2016 were tick-related
• The CDC confirmed that the total number of cases likely yields over 300,000 probable cases each year – you probably know someone with a tick-borne illness.
• 75% of all confirmed Lyme disease cases are contracted within 100 feet of the home
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis and other disease agents are either established or emerging in many parts of the United States.
• While mosquitoes continue to be a concern, they account for merely 5% of vector-borne diseases.
