Is Now the Time for Tick Control in West St. Louis County?

Tick control isn’t something you should put off until you find a tick. Take action before ticks become a regular part of your outdoor routine.

While ticks can be a concern for much of the year throughout West St. Louis County, activity has increased in early spring. If you’re spending more time outside your home, right now is the very time to seriously consider professional tick control. Unfortunately, their busy season is also ours – family gatherings, kids and pets playing outside, and relaxing on the patio are hitting prime time.

It’s time to call Mosquito Squad Plus for highly effective solutions for tick control in West St. Louis County.

The Smaller the Tick, the Larger the Concern

Springtime brings a serious tick concern – that concern is the emergence of nymph ticks. These ticks are so small, they are often detected only after they have engorged themselves with your blood. By that time, they will have been attached long enough to pass disease pathogens, predominantly Lyme disease.

It’s incredibly important to perform thorough tick checks on yourself, as well as family members and pets, when returning from having outdoor fun. A quick tick check is all it takes to ensure one doesn’t have enough time to attach to your body for their blood meal.

Areas of Tick Concern in Your Yard

Tick habitats are often where a lawn and natural spaces meet. West St. Louis County homeowners in Chesterfield, Ballwin, Manchester, and beyond, should be on the lookout for ticks around their homes in a number of spaces.

The ideal tick habitat is one where they can remain protected all year. Leaf litter, wood piles, wooded property lines, and areas of shade throughout your landscaping all make ample tick hideouts. What’s more, these are the same places that rodents will be found in nature. And when a rodent comes close to your home, they could bring ticks with them.

And ticks are patient. They will lie in wait for people or animals to get close enough to them for them to latch on. That could be you, a family member, or your pets.
