Milwaukee Ticks and Their Lengthening Season
Tick season in Milwaukee is trending earlier after a series of warm winters. The black-legged (deer) tick is most likely to carry disease, but homeowners may encounter several other types. Moxie treats tick populations with targeted solutions, fighting a wide range of tick species:

Black-legged (deer) tick:
Tiny, dark climbers often seeking hosts in brushy or wooded areas.

American dog tick:
Sturdy and brown, these ground-level roamers may lurk at the edges of yards.

Lone star tick:
Easily spotted by the pale spot on the female, they’re aggressive little hunters in brush.

Helpful FAQs
What Milwaukee neighborhoods do you serve?
We provide effective pest control services in all neighborhoods in and around Milwaukee, including Bay View, Riverwest, East Side, Walker’s Point, Harambee, Historic Third Ward, Washington Heights, Sherman Park, Clarke Square, and Story Hill.
Are your treatments pet- and kid-friendly?
We pride ourselves on providing family-friendly pest control and always make the well-being of our customers a priority. Our Field Experts are trained to use only EPA-registered products and to precisely follow label instructions.
We ask that children and pets stay out of treated areas until those areas have fully dried. Indoors, this usually takes 1 to 3 hours depending on ventilation. Outdoors, it typically takes about 30 minutes depending on the weather. If you have aquariums, terrariums, or bird cages, your Field Expert will explain any additional precautions.
What are the most common pests in Milwaukee?
There are a variety of common pests in Milwaukee:
- Rodents are attracted to the warmth of homes and easy access to food, especially during colder months.
- Cockroaches thrive in damp, cluttered areas like basements and kitchens where food and moisture are available.
- Spiders seek out dark, undisturbed corners indoors to hunt other insects.
- Mosquitoes breed quickly in standing water left after rainfall, which is common in Milwaukee’s humid summers.
- Wasps build nests in sheltered spots such as eaves and decks, especially when outdoor food and activity give them an easy food source.
- Ants invade kitchens and pantries when they detect crumbs, spills, or sugary residues.
Professional pest control addresses these problems at the source, helping homeowners manage infestations and prevent them from returning.
Do I really need professional help, or can I just DIY my pest control?
DIY methods rarely solve pest problems completely because they don’t target the root causes. Store-bought sprays and traps may eliminate the pests you see, but they often miss hidden nests, entry points, and breeding areas. Moxie’s Field Experts are trained daily to identify those problem spots, apply precise, family-friendly treatments, and put measures in place to help prevent pests from coming back.
Do you offer mosquito control services in Milwaukee?
Yes. We provide monthly fogging treatments to reduce active mosquito populations and install In2Care Stations that target mosquitoes in their larval stage. Our Field Experts service the stations every 21 to 30 days, helping keep mosquitoes under control and making your yard more comfortable throughout the season.
Do you treat for voles in Milwaukee?
Yes, we can help manage vole problems in Milwaukee. These persistent rodents often cause headaches for homeowners by tunneling through lawns and gardens. Our method starts with a thorough inspection of your property to identify tunnels, damaged patches of lawn, and other signs of vole activity. From there, we strategically place bait stations and apply granules to target the population, giving you a healthier yard and restoring your outdoor spaces to their full potential.
How does the climate in the Great Lakes Region affect pest activity?
Milwaukee’s mix of humidity, rainfall, and proximity to Lake Michigan creates environments where pests are prone to thrive. Mosquitoes breed in standing water left by frequent rain, while ants and other insects are drawn to damp soil and decaying plant matter, because these conditions allow them to more effectively tunnel. Rodents take advantage of moisture in basements and around foundations, which makes it easier for them to survive and reproduce.
Because these factors naturally support pest survival and reproduction, professional pest control is key to reducing pest populations in homes and yards and giving homeowners peace of mind.
Does pest activity in Milwaukee vary by season?
Yes, pest activity in Milwaukee shifts throughout the year because pests respond to changes in temperature and available resources. Warm weather encourages ants and wasps to forage for food, while rain or melted snow creates breeding sites for mosquitoes. Rodents move indoors when outdoor food and shelter become scarce, and spiders follow prey into homes.
Each type of pest adapts to the environment in its own way, making professional pest control essential for effectively managing infestations throughout all of Milwaukee’s seasons.
Why am I seeing more pests right after my first treatment?
If you see more pests right after your first treatment, it’s a sign the products are working. The treatment agitates pests and forces them out of their usual hiding spots, which makes them more visible at first. After your one-month follow-up treatment, pest activity should decline. If pests return between scheduled visits, Moxie provides free warranty reservice for all customers on our year-round plan.
What to expect
At the beginning of your initial service, your Field Expert will ensure that the service is tailored to your specific needs, so if you have problems such as ants in the kitchen or spiders in the garage, please let us know. This allows us to provide solutions to effectively treat your home.
