Tick Prevention in Ballwin: Protecting Pets & Families

At Mosquito Hunters™, we know how dangerous pest-borne diseases can be to families in Ballwin. Between mosquitoes and ticks, a simple trip to your backyard could put you at risk of contracting West Nile virus, Zika virus, Ehrlichiosis, Spotted Fever Rickettsiosis, and a range of other illnesses. To reduce these risks, we suggest combining our mosquito services with tick prevention treatments.

Our tick control treatments in Ballwin use the same active ingredient as our mosquito control service, making it easy to combine these two services. With routine tick treatments, we can keep these tiny, eight-legged pests from invading your yard, helping protect you and your family.

Why Invest in Tick Prevention in Ballwin?

When it comes to outdoor pest prevention, most families in Ballwin focus on mosquitoes. That’s understandable. In addition to spreading disease, mosquitoes can spoil countless summer evenings and weekends.

But even if ticks are less annoying than mosquitoes, they still represent a serious health risk. Without tick prevention treatments, your backyard could become a breeding ground for disease.

Here’s a quick look at why we strongly suggest having your yard in Ballwin treated for ticks:

• Ticks enjoy practically any area that’s grassy, bushy, or wooded. Most yards in metro St. Louis are prime targets for tick activity.
• A single tick bite is all it takes to contract a tick-borne illness. What’s more, many tick bites go undetected, delaying treatment for these diseases.
• Approximately 50,000 Americans contract a tick-borne illness each year. The vast majority of these cases have the potential for serious complications.
• Cases of tick-borne disease have been increasing in the U.S. for more than a decade. Each year, the risk of these illnesses gets higher and higher.
• Different types of tick-borne illnesses are more common in certain areas. In Missouri, the two most common types are Spotted Fever Rickettsiosis and Ehrlichsiosis.

Tick Control Made Easy With Mosquito Hunters

If you’re worried about ticks on your property, our tick treatments give you an easy way to reduce the risk of tick exposure. Our treatments work by creating a perimeter around the edge of your yard that neutralizes ticks. This way, if ticks try to enter your yard, they’ll be neutralized by our treatment product.

Unlike other tick products, our treatments can be applied to yards used by children and pets. The active ingredient in our treatments has been derived from the chrysanthemum flower. This ingredient can be found in a range of household products, including anti-lice shampoos designed for kids.
