Identifying ticks in Converse
Lone star ticks (white dot on female), brown dog ticks, and American dog ticks dominate locally. All have eight legs, flattened oval bodies, and engorge dramatically after feeding.
Behavior & habitat
Ticks "quest" on tall grass and brush, waiting for a host to brush past. They can survive months between meals and prefer humid, shaded environments.
Why ticks are a problem here
Vectors for ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, alpha-gal syndrome (red meat allergy from lone star ticks), and rarely Lyme disease.
Converse seasonal outlook: Tick activity is highest from spring through early fall, especially along shaded grass, brush, and wildlife routes.
Why Converse homes get ticks
Converse sits in Bexar County, where long triple-digit summers, mild winters, and sudden heavy rain give ticks a nearly year-round runway. Irrigation cycles, shaded landscaping, and standing moisture keep tick activity high even when the yard looks dry, which is why our Converse programs run on a schedule instead of a single visit.
Where they get in around here
On Converse routes, our technicians track tick activity back to tall grass, brush lines, and unkempt fence rows, shaded leaf litter along the property edge, pet resting areas and kennels, and wildlife trails that cross the yard. We treat those pressure points directly — targeted perimeter applications, void treatments, monitored bait or trapping placements, and exclusion work — so the population drops instead of shifting a few feet down the wall.
“Most Converse tick calls we run aren't a mystery — the conditions are right and nobody closed the gaps. We find the pressure point, treat it, then come back and verify. If it moves again, so do we, on our dime.”
Signs of a tick problem
- • Ticks attached to pets, especially around ears, neck, and between toes
- • Ticks crawling on people after time in tall grass or brushy areas
