Ticks have officially been named the #1 Pest of 2025 by the National Pest Management Association — and for good reason. Across the U.S., hospital visits from tick bites and tick-borne illnesses have reached a five-year high, making ticks one of the most dangerous pests homeowners face today.
Why Ticks Are a Serious Health Threat
Ticks are more than a nuisance. A single bite can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, and Ehrlichiosis. Many people never feel a tick bite, allowing infections to go unnoticed until symptoms become severe.
Children and pets are especially vulnerable, as ticks hide in tall grass, wooded areas, leaf litter, and shaded parts of your yard — exactly where families spend time outdoors.
Why Tick Problems Are Getting Worse
Milder winters and longer warm seasons have allowed tick populations to grow and remain active for more months each year. Once ticks establish themselves on a property, they multiply quickly without proper treatment.
