Ticks in Lemont, IL? Treat the Grass Line
Ticks in Lemont wait in tall grass at the edge of the lawn. How Clae treats the transition zones.
• WHAT YOU SEE IN LEMONT
Ticks show up as a tick on the dog after a walk, or one found on a person after time in the yard near tall grass, brush, or the edge of a wooded area. They do not bite right away and are often found still crawling, which is the best time to catch one before it attaches.
• WHAT WE SEE
Ticks wait on tall grass and brush at the edge of the lawn for something warm to brush past; they do not jump or fly, they climb onto whatever walks by. We look at the transition zones on a property, where mowed lawn meets taller grass, brush, or tree line, since that boundary is where the tick population concentrates. A property backing up to a wooded area or an unmowed edge has more of that transition zone than one that does not.
• HOW WE FIX IT
Yard treatment targets those transition zones directly, the tall grass and brush edges, not the whole lawn uniformly. A simple three-foot strip of mulch or gravel between lawn and taller vegetation is the cheapest tick control there is, and we will point it out if a property does not have one. Products are safe around pets and kids, which matters for a treatment aimed at exactly the areas pets and kids use.
• WHEN THEY SHOW UP
Ticks are active from early spring through the first hard frost, with the heaviest activity in late spring and early summer. Yard treatment on the quarterly schedule covers the season, with attention to the transition zones at every visit rather than just once.

We have been very pleased with Clae Pest Control. Robby is particularly great to work with. Not only is Robby personable and friendly, he is very knowledgeable and has many tricks up his sleeve. He also has followed up to make sure that his services are working appropriately which has been such a relief. Communication is also fantastic, and they can text to confirm/change appointment times. 100% would recommended.
Great experience so far. Called due to hearing some sounds in the wall of our old OP house. Fast and responsive, did a thorough inspection, no high pressure sales. They didn't find definite evidence of mice, and even though I offered to just pay for service they insisted on putting out baits for free to see if I actually needed anything. The baits have caught a mouse so will be having them come back for full service.
Clae Pest Control is exceptional! They responded quickly, their team was knowledgeable and friendly, and their eco-friendly treatment effectively resolved my pest issue. Their transparent pricing and helpful prevention tips made the entire experience hassle-free. I highly recommend Clae Pest Control for top-notch service!
I am extremely happy with the service I received from Clae Pest Control. Robby is very professional, thorough, and friendly. I also received a detailed account of the services provided, and he arrived on time. The product really works, I no longer have problems with ants and spiders, all for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them.
