It's Tick Season

The weather is really warming up and more and more people are spending their days and nights outside. If you’ve spent any amount of time outside within the last few weeks, you’ve probably noticed how bad the ticks are this year. A B Pest Control & Insulation knows that tick season is fully underway, but it seems as if this tick season is extremely bad. Protect your pet and your home from ticks and give your pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks a call today. Check out the different kinds of ticks we have in Missouri and what you should do if your dog accidentally brings one – or the whole tick family – home.

Types of Ticks in Missouri

Deer Tick or Blacklegged Tick

These ticks are extremely small and are only the size of a sesame seed. Deer ticks are the best known for transmitting Lyme Disease. Their lifespan is about two to three years and requires at least three blood meals to survive each phase of life. In order to transmit Lyme Disease, a deer tick must be attached to their host for at least 24 hours. Luckily for us, rodents and deer are the preferred hosts for deer ticks. These ticks are usually found in the woods and in areas with overgrown vegetation.

Lone Star Tick

You can distinguish a lone star tick by its white dot or star in the center of it’s back. These ticks are the most active from April through the end of July. Lone star ticks are aggressive feeders and are often found on dogs and cats. This tick can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis. Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI), can occur after a lone star tick bites. Those symptoms include rash, headache, and fatigue, and are similar to the symptoms of Lyme Disease. Luckily, STARI can be cured with an oral antibiotic.

American Dog Tick

The American dog tick is a 3-host tick. They target small and large mammals. These ticks are normally found on dogs, but they will attack larger animals like cows and horses. These ticks are usually brown or a reddish-brown in color and they have gray/silver markings on their back. American dog ticks are the most active from mid-April to early September.

Reduce Ticks in Your Yard

While you may not be able to fully prevent a single tick from entering your yard, there are steps to make sure you don’t have an invasion of them.

Keep your yard tidy – it’s important to remove all leaf litter and keep your grass trimmed short. If you live near a wooded area, you can place gravel or woodchips between the edge or your grass and the wooded area to help create a barrier.

Keep deer away – making sure deer don’t come on your property is a great way to help keep ticks away. Remove plants that attract deer and create physical barriers that will discourage them from entering your yard.

Give A B Pest Control & Insulation a call – it’s important to have your home and yard regularly sprayed for ticks and other pesky bugs. This will be one of the most effective ways to protect your pet and home from ticks and the diseases they may be carrying.

Your Lake of the Ozarks Pest Control Company

While ticks may sound terrifying, there are ways to help prevent them from entering your home or yard. Not all ticks carry diseases, but during these next few months, A B Pest Control & Insulation knows that it’s important to keep your eye out for them. You should always check your dog when they come inside and you should never walk through the woods or tall grass without making sure you are covered and protected. For all of your pest control needs, give your pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks a call today.

'Tis The Season For Bug Splattered Windshields

Whether you are going across town or simply down the road, there’s almost no doubt that you will end up with a few bug splatters on your windshield. It almost never fails, you usually get the most splatters right after you get your car washed. Have you ever wondered what kinds of bugs end up on your windshield? Wonder no more. Your pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks is here with that information. While we can’t help with the bugs on the road – or your windshield – we can help with the bugs around your home. If you have a pest problem, give A B Pest Control & Insulation a call!

Splattered Bugs

Have you ever wondered what kind of bugs are splattered across your windshield? We’ve got some fun facts for you.

• The larger splats are usually large female butterflies or moths.
• If the splat is red, it’s a female and most likely a mosquito – if it’s not a mosquito, it’s a female bug that bites.
• The smaller splats are biting midges. In the South, they are known as “no-see-ums”.
• If your splat is glowing it’s a firefly.

The majority of insects fly about four to five feet off the ground which makes it the perfect striking distance for a car. Butterflies are a very common victim because they are attracted to the yellow reflector lights that are on the highway. Nighttime is a popular time to get splats on your windshield. Moths will be flying towards your headlights and will collide with your windshield.

It may seem surprising, but the amount of bug splats has reduced drastically from the 60s and 70s. Some believe that the bug population is decreasing. Some believe the change in vehicle design has to do with it. Windshields used to be more upright, but today they are more of a teardrop design. The bugs can get sucked into the laminar airflow and goes up and over the windshield instead of colliding with it. Another reason for fewer bug splatters? Highways are more manicured and bug habitats are further away from the roadways. While the bug population has decreased, there are still plenty of bugs that hit our windshields.

What’s the last thing that went through the bug’s mind when he hit the windshield?

His butt.

While it’s all fun and games, cleaning bug guts from your car’s windshield can be challenging. It’s best to clean your car and windshield as soon as possible. This will help prevent bugs from sticking. You can use Windex or vinegar to help wipe away the bugs. It’s best to let the solution sit for a few minutes before wiping it away. If you leave dead bugs on your car too long, it can start eating away at the pain on your car.

Your Lake of the Ozarks Pest Control Company

A B Pest Control & Insulation knows how frustrating a bug covered windshield can be. While we can’t help you with those bugs, we can help make sure your home and yard stay bug-free year-round. Now is a great time to prepare your home for the warmer months ahead. Give your pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks a call today!
