Ticks

Expert tick extermination services in St. Louis

Ticks are small bugs that come in brown, black, or reddish colors. They have eight legs, just like spiders. They're so small that they can be hard to see without looking closely!

Where to find ticks

Ticks like to hang out in grassy areas, bushes, and woods. They wait for animals or people to walk by so they can grab on and hitch a ride!

How ticks bite

When a tick finds a spot on an animal or a person, it uses its mouth to attach and start sucking blood. It doesn't hurt because their mouths are tiny.

Signs of ticks

Here's how to know if you have a tick:

1. Feeling Itchy: If you feel itchy or ticklish in one spot, it might be a tick.

2. Seeing a Little Bug: If you find a tiny bug stuck to your skin, especially after playing outside, it could be a tick.

3. Finding Red Bumps: Ticks can leave red bumps or spots where they've been feeding. So, if you spot any, let an adult know to check it out.

Even though ticks are small, they can cause big problems if we don't take care of them, including spreading debilitating diseases.
