West Chicago Tick Control

In West Chicago, you don’t have to live next to the woods to deal with ticks. They show up in backyards all over town—hiding under decks, along fences, and in spots where the grass grows just a little longer than it should. If you’ve ever pulled one off your dog or noticed one crawling up your sock, you know how unsettling that is. At Mosquito Squad of Chicago, we offer tick control that helps reduce the problem before it gets out of hand.

Why Ticks Are a Problem Around Here

Ticks don’t buzz or swarm. You probably won’t see them at all until they’re attached. That’s what makes them tricky. They’re small, quiet, and good at finding the parts of your yard you don’t spend much time thinking about—like shady corners, overgrown edges, or the gap between your shed and fence.

West Chicago has no shortage of spots like that. The mix of wooded lots, damp, low-lying areas, and plenty of wildlife gives ticks all the ingredients they need. Add a few squirrels or mice cutting across your yard, and they’ve got a ride straight to your doorstep.

The bite isn’t usually painful, but the consequences can be. Ticks in this area are known to carry Lyme disease and other illnesses. The best way to avoid that kind of worry is to stay ahead of the problem.

What We Do When We Show Up

We don’t take a blanket approach. First, we take a look around your yard and ask a few questions—like where your pets roam, where the kids play, and what parts of the yard don’t get much sun. Then we walk through and look for the usual hiding places.

We apply treatment to the areas that matter most. That includes shady zones, thick vegetation, places near woodpiles, and around the edges of your yard where ticks are most likely to hang out. The idea is to focus on where they actually live—not just spray and hope for the best.

We also offer tick tubes, which go after younger ticks carried by small animals. These tubes are small and discreet, and they work in the background through the cooler months, giving you a head start before spring.

Plans That Make Sense for Your Yard

Most yards in West Chicago need a full season of regular treatments to keep things under control from early spring through late fall. Some people also like to schedule one-time special event sprays to address a variety of pests before an outdoor event. Either one works, and we’ll help you figure out what’s best based on your space and how you use it.

We also offer mosquito control if you want to tackle both issues at the same time. A lot of homeowners bundle the two to keep the yard comfortable across the board.
