Is Lyme Disease a Concern in Wisconsin?

Lyme disease rates have tripled over the last decade in Wisconsin. Help defend your health and family with Green Bay tick control from Mosquito Squad

The winters are cold and linger for quite a while in Wisconsin, so the return of warm weather to our region is eagerly awaited and thoroughly appreciated come summer. Lush forests, lakeside picnics, and backyard relaxation are all beautiful places and activities that should be enjoyed during this time of year, but these activities shouldn’t dull your wariness of nearby pests. Much like humans, insects are eager to make the most of the outdoor living season in our region, with pest populations exploding as soon as spring and summer appear. While mosquitoes are certainly a big concern in our region due to their unmatched ability to interrupt backyard lifestyles in Wisconsin, ticks are a far more significant concern. 

Why? Ticks are small and seemingly present little danger, but they are significantly more dangerous than they appear. These parasites will latch onto all kinds of animals throughout their lives, including deer, birds, and even reptiles, and they pick up diseases throughout this parasitic journey. Over the years, diseases caused by ticks have become much more common in our region as they bite us, and Lyme disease is an illness of particular concern. This tick-borne disease is the most common of its kind in the nation, with national case tallies of the disease suspected to exceed 475,000 every year, indicating a huge spike in cases over the last decade. In Wisconsin, over 6,000 cases were reported in the state in 2024, and estimates suggest this is one-tenth of the actual tally due to underreporting, misdiagnoses, and atypical symptoms. With these troubling statistics in mind, there has never been a more pressing time to consider Green Bay tick control measures to help defend you and your health! But how can you fight back against these parasites effectively? While DIY efforts might be tempting, these measures are often ineffective and present ticks with plenty of opportunities to evade your defences. For best results, rely on your local tick control experts.
