Recent health reports show that tick-related ER visits have surged to their highest seasonal levels in years. Across the country, and right here in the Greater St. Louis area, we’re seeing a significant spike in activity: nearly double the historical average for this time of year.

For St. Louis homeowners, this is more than just a headline. It’s a warning. As shown in the photo, these pests are incredibly small and can easily go unnoticed on a child’s arm or a pet’s coat. These tiny intruders are vectors for serious conditions like Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and alpha-gal syndrome.

You shouldn't have to worry every time your family steps into the backyard. At STL Pest Control, we’ve been protecting local homes since 1989. We use a professional, Integrated Pest Management approach to create a protective barrier around your property, targeting ticks where they harbor in tall grass and leaf litter.

Protect your family and reclaim your yard.

As we settle into June, the St. Louis humidity isn’t the only thing rising: the mosquito population is right behind it.

Most homeowners don't realize that a single bottle cap of standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed hundreds of new neighbors you didn't ask for. To keep your backyard barbecues and evenings on the porch enjoyable, it’s time to go through the June Breeding Checklist.

Start with your gutters. Clogged drains are a primary breeding ground. Next, walk your property and check the saucers under flower pots, the depressions in children’s toys, and even the folds of outdoor tarps. If it can hold water, it can hold mosquito larvae.

Our team is out across the Greater St. Louis area every day, identifying these hidden spots and providing professional barriers that work. Don't let your yard become a nursery for pests.

St. Louis is seeing something we haven’t seen in nearly ten years.

If you feel like you’re finding more ticks on your pets or your clothes after just a few minutes in the yard, you aren’t imagining it. Missouri and Illinois are currently experiencing some of the heaviest tick activity in a decade. Our local weather patterns have created a perfect environment for these pests, and they are appearing in record numbers across the Greater St. Louis area.

For local homeowners, the danger isn't just in the deep woods: it's in your own backyard. Ticks love to wait in "questing" positions on the tips of tall grass or along shaded fence lines, ready to latch onto the next person or pet that brushes by. These tiny hitchhikers can be hard to spot until they’ve already become a problem.

Don't let your yard become a no-go zone for your family this summer. Our team uses targeted treatments to address these specific hotspots, helping you reclaim your outdoor space.

Have you noticed tiny, scurrying red specks on your white windowsills or brick foundation lately? If you’re enjoying the St. Louis spring, you’ve likely seen these "moving dots."

They aren't spiders or typical insects: they’re clover mites. These pests are common across Missouri this time of year, migrating from lush lawns onto the warmer surfaces of your home. While they don’t bite, they are a major nuisance in large numbers.

The biggest frustration for St. Louis homeowners is the mess. If crushed, they leave a rusty red stain that’s hard to remove from curtains and carpets. It’s not blood: just natural pigment: but it can quickly ruin your decor.

Handling a clover mite invasion on your own often feels like a losing battle against thousands of tiny specks. We provide the professional barrier treatments needed to keep them outside, protecting your home’s interior and your peace of mind.

If your dog’s been rolling around the yard lately, fleas may be hitchhiking into your St. Louis home: on fur, but also on socks, pant legs, and shoes.

Spring + summer is prime time. And here’s the frustrating part: even with great pet meds, fleas can still be living in carpets, rugs, and furniture. You might notice:
- Your pet scratching more than usual
- Tiny “pepper-like” specks in fur or bedding
- Bites around ankles after walking across the living room

DIY sprays and foggers often miss the real problem: the egg/pupa cycle hidden deep in fibers. That’s why infestations keep “coming back” a week later.

We treat the home the right way, using Integrated Pest Management to break the life cycle: fast, fair, and local.

Yesterday we talked about the difference between termite swarmers and flying ants. Another pest St. Louis homeowners sometimes ask about is **carpenter ants**.

Carpenter ants are different from termites. They do not eat wood the same way termites do, but they can tunnel through wood to build their nests — especially wood that has been softened by moisture.

A few things to watch for:

✅ Large black or dark-colored ants inside the home
✅ Ants showing up near windows, doors, kitchens, bathrooms, or basements
✅ Small piles of sawdust-like material near wood, trim, or wall voids
✅ Activity around wet or damaged wood
✅ Ant trails near trees, decks, porches, or foundation areas

Seeing carpenter ants does not always mean there is major damage, but it can be a sign that moisture or nesting activity needs attention.

At STL Pest Control, we help St. Louis homeowners identify what they’re seeing, find the source, and recommend the right treatment plan without scare tactics.

Yesterday we talked about termite swarmers being in the news. Today, let’s answer a common question we hear from homeowners:

**How do I know if I’m seeing flying termites or flying ants?**

They can look similar at first glance, but there are a few key differences:

✅ **Termite swarmers** usually have straight antennae
✅ Their wings are about the same size and often longer than the body
✅ Their body shape is more straight and uniform
✅ They may leave behind piles of discarded wings near windows, doors, or lights

Flying ants usually have bent antennae, a pinched waist, and wings that are different sizes.

Seeing a few swarmers outside does not always mean your home has a termite problem. But if you find them **inside**, notice **discarded wings**, or see **mud tubes along the foundation**, it’s worth having a professional inspection.

At STL Pest Control, we help St. Louis homeowners understand what they’re seeing and what steps make sense next — without scare tactics.

Termite swarmers have been in the news lately, and it’s a good reminder for St. Louis homeowners: flying termites are not something to ignore.

Swarmers are the winged termites you may see around porch lights, windows, doors, patios, or inside the home. They are usually looking for a place to start a new colony.

A few things to watch for:

✅ Flying termites around lights
✅ Discarded wings near windows or doors
✅ Mud tubes along the foundation
✅ Soft, damaged, or hollow-sounding wood
✅ Moisture issues around the home

If you see swarmers outside, it does not always mean your home is infested. But if you see them indoors, or you notice wings, mud tubes, or damaged wood, it’s time to have it checked.

At STL Pest Control, we help St. Louis homeowners with honest termite inspections and clear treatment options, including liquid termite treatments and Trelona® bait termite monitoring.

Exterior pest control is one of the best ways to protect your home before pests ever make it inside. 🏠

Many homeowners think pest control starts in the kitchen, bathroom, or basement. But in most cases, the real prevention starts outside — where ants, spiders, roaches, wasps, and other pests are trying to find their way in.

A thorough exterior service focuses on the areas pests use most:

✅ Around the foundation and brickwork
✅ Windows, doors, cracks, and small gaps
✅ Eaves, soffits, porch ceilings, and overhangs
✅ Garage doors, patios, decks, and entry points
✅ Utility lines, AC units, electrical boxes, and other openings

By treating these key areas, we help reduce pest activity around the home and create a protective barrier before bugs end up on your counters, in your corners, or around your living spaces.

At STL Pest Control, we believe in stopping pest problems where they start. Professional service. Local experience. Straightforward help when you need it.

If you’re seeing ants, spiders, roaches, or wasps around your home, now is a great time to get ahead of it.

German cockroaches are one of the toughest pests to get rid of once they settle into a home or business. They reproduce quickly, hide in small cracks, and are often found around kitchens, cabinets, appliances, sinks, and bathrooms.

If you’re seeing roaches during the day, finding droppings, or noticing activity near food areas, it’s time to act before the problem spreads.

STL Pest Control provides professional German cockroach treatments for St. Louis homes and businesses with a clear plan, targeted service, and practical prevention tips.
