Why Granular Tick Control is a Game-Changer for St. Louis Residents

As the seasons change and St. Louis residents prepare for the beauty of early fall, there's another thing they need to prepare for: tick season. With two main breeding cycles—early spring and late summer to early fall—ticks can pose a significant risk to public health. The traditional methods of tick control have had their limitations, which is why we're utilizing our granular tick control treatments at Mosquito Squad of St. Louis. These treatments target tick nymphs and adult ticks effectively and offer a longer period of effectiveness compared to some other methods, making them a noteworthy alternative to traditional tick control options.

The Benefits of St. Louis Tick Control with Granular Treatments

While some tick control methods only target ticks indirectly, our granular treatments directly target ticks at all stages of their lives. The direct approach has several benefits, including long-lasting effectiveness. One application can help manage tick populations in your yard for several months. Our granular treatment ensures that key areas where ticks are most likely to be found are covered. In terms of time efficiency, our granular treatment stands out as well. There’s no need to reapply the treatment every few weeks. With just a couple of applications in early fall and spring, you can mitigate tick populations in your outdoor areas. We always recommend doubling up with our traditional tick control treatments during the summer months when ticks are most active, but granular treatments will fight against ticks even when they have vanished from view during the winter.

Winter is often thought of as a reprieve from the buzzing and biting of warmer months, but that's not entirely accurate. As the temperature drops, various insects like crickets, millipedes, pill bugs, stink bugs, spiders, and more may attempt to find their way into your homes to escape the harsh weather. What's notable about our granular treatment is its value in winterization. The treatment not only helps manage tick populations in your outdoor spaces but also forms a barrier that can discourage ticks and other pests from infiltrating your home during winter. So, while the chill wind of fall may be blowing, you can have added peace of mind knowing that your granular treatment is still at work, helping to manage insects that might otherwise try to cozy up inside your home.
