    What ticks has the county recorded near Potomac?

    A 2007 entomology note lists Blockhouse Point Park among Montgomery County sites where lone star ticks were recorded in sampling done in 2002. The note does not place the park exactly against Potomac's boundary, so treat it as county parkland in the wider area rather than a Potomac fact.

    The Maryland Department of Health names the blacklegged, lone star and American dog ticks as the most likely to bite people. Its advice is a daily tick check after time outdoors, and an EPA-registered repellent when you are in tall grass or along trails.

    How do termites and rodents fit a community of this size?

    Termite swarmers in spring are the sign to watch for. University of Maryland Extension says a swarm points to a mature colony nearby, and the eastern subterranean termite is the species reported for Maryland in a state officials' report, which is older. Wood that touches soil is where a technician looks first.

    Rodents follow garages, sheds and wood piles. The county puts the duty to eliminate rats on property owners, so a visit usually ends with a list of the gaps and food sources a homeowner should fix.

    FAQ

    Potomac FAQs

    Is a lone star tick the same as a deer tick?

    No. The county's Lyme page identifies the blacklegged, or deer, tick as the one that spreads Lyme disease. The 2007 entomology note found no lone star role in Lyme transmission. Both can bite, so a daily check is useful either way.

    Can a technician treat the wooded edge behind my Potomac home?

    A technician treats your lot, including the shaded edge of it where ticks rest. Ask (855) 974-4733 what can be done on the far side of a fence, because that land is not yours to treat.

    Why would an inspection look at wood beside the soil?

    Wood in contact with soil gives termites a direct route to the structure. The technician checks where that wood sits, how much moisture it holds and whether swarmers have been seen nearby.

    What is the first thing to do after finding a tick?

    Remove it with fine tweezers, grasping it close to the skin and pulling straight out. Clean the bite area, keep a note of the date, and tell a doctor if a rash or fever follows.
