What's active right now

Deer-tick nymphs are tapering as lone-star seed ticks swarm where that tick is established. Late-summer risk stays meaningful in brushy, wooded areas. Where the lone star tick lives (coastal and southern areas), aggressive larval 'seed tick' swarms peak now.

Local tick habitat

Fairview Heights is 88% natural land cover (76% forest, plus open and brushy areas) across its 11.43 sq mi, home to about 16,125 people. That makes it the 1st-most wooded of the 46 towns in St. Clair County. Deer ticks live in wooded areas, along trail edges, and in tall grass: the more of that a town has, the more places ticks can quest.

How much does tick control cost in Fairview Heights?
