The Tick Problem
St. Louis is home to several tick species, including the American dog tick, lone star tick, and blacklegged tick (deer tick). All can transmit diseases to humans and pets.
Ticks thrive in wooded areas, tall grass, and brush—common features of many St. Louis properties. They wait on vegetation and latch onto passing hosts, including your family and pets.
Climate conditions in recent years have extended tick season and increased populations. What was once a summer concern is now a spring-through-fall issue in the St. Louis area.
