Meet the Nymph Tick: A Pittsburgh Pest You Can Barely See
The nymph tick is so small (about the size of a poppy seed), you might not even see it crawling on your skin. Despite its tiny size, these yard invaders are actually more harmful than larger ticks, and known to spread disease. Moxie targets all types of tick species, including:

Nymph tick
Tiny insects that are difficult to see and often hide in grass, shrubs, and shaded areas.

American dog ticks
Common in yards, they attach to pets and people, making outdoor spaces less comfortable.

Lone star ticks
Small but active, these ticks latch onto humans and pets and are hard to notice outdoors.

Helpful FAQs
What Pittsburgh neighborhoods do you serve?
We provide trusted pest control services to homeowners in all parts of Pittsburgh, including the neighborhoods of Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Highland Park, Greenfield, South Side Flats, Point Breeze, Oakland, and Brookline.
Are your treatments pet- and kid-friendly?
Yes, we always use kid- and pet-friendly treatments and will prioritize your family’s well-being through every stage of the pest control process. We advise keeping children and pets away from treated areas until they are completely dry. This typically takes around 30 minutes for outdoor treatments, and 1 – 3 hours indoors. If you keep pets in aquariums, terrariums, or fish tanks, we may walk you through some additional precautions.
What are the most common pests in Pittsburgh?
In Pittsburgh, ants, mice, and spiders are among the most common household pests, but they’re far from the only ones. Termites can cause damage to wooden structures, while silverfish are often found lurking in damp basements and bathrooms. Stink bugs often enter homes in large numbers, and cockroaches may appear in kitchens or multi-family buildings in search of food and moisture. Occasional infestations of pantry pests, like beetles or weevils, can also occur.
Because these pests are so varied and persistent, many Pittsburgh homeowners turn to professional help for trusted pest control services that provide year-round peace of mind.
Do I really need professional pest control, or can I just use store-bought products?
While store-bought sprays and traps can typically handle visible pests, they often miss the hidden sources, like nests and entry points inside walls and under floors. This can lead to recurring problems despite repeated treatments.
Professional pest control takes a more thorough approach by identifying the root causes and adjusting strategies to the specific conditions in your home. Even small infestations can escalate over time, which is why many homeowners choose professional services to eliminate current pests and help prevent future issues.
Do you offer mosquito control services in Pittsburgh?
Yes, we provide mosquito control services for our neighbors in Pittsburgh. We apply monthly fogging treatments to reduce adult populations, and install In2Care Stations, which are discreet devices that target mosquitoes in their larval stage. Our Field Experts return every 21 to 30 days to service the stations, refresh treatments, and monitor activity. This combined approach helps keep mosquito activity down in your yard and makes your outdoor spaces more enjoyable throughout the season.
Do you treat Pittsburgh yards for voles?
Yes, we treat for voles in Pittsburgh yards. These small rodents are known for tunneling through lawns and tearing up gardens, often leaving runways, burrows, and patches of dead grass behind.
Our vole service includes detailed inspections of your lawn paired with targeted treatments such as granules and bait stations. Field Experts return every 21 days to recheck activity, refresh treatments, and adjust as needed for the length of the service agreement.
How does the climate in southwestern Pennsylvania affect pest activity?
The climate in southwestern Pennsylvania strongly influences pest activity. Frequent rain and high humidity create damp environments that attract ants, which need water to survive. Termites are drawn to moisture because it softens wood, making it easier to feed. Silverfish and spiders thrive in humid hiding spots. Centipedes, sowbugs, and pill bugs rely on moist soil or mulch to breathe and stay active.
Mosquitoes and flies breed in standing water, while rodents take advantage of wetter conditions that increase food and burrowing opportunities. With so many pests drawn by the region’s climate, professional pest control services help homeowners manage and reduce infestations effectively.
How do Pittsburgh’s seasonal changes affect pest activity?
In spring in Pittsburgh, rain and warming temperatures provide moisture and soft soil, which ants, termites, and mosquitoes need to feed, nest, and breed. Summer’s heat and humidity give flies, wasps, and spiders the warm, sheltered environments they prefer. In fall, cooler temperatures push rodents and stink bugs indoors in search of warmth and food.
Winter slows insects but increases rodent activity, as they relocate indoors to stay out of the cold. Professional pest control helps manage these seasonal infestations year-round.
Why am I seeing more pests right after my first treatment?
Seeing more pest activity is common after the first service and shows that the products are working as intended. The initial treatment disturbs pests’ usual hiding spots and routines, which brings them out into the open. After your one-month follow-up service, you should notice a significant decrease in activity as we disrupt breeding lifecycles. If pests return between scheduled visits, Moxie has you covered: customers on our year-round plan receive complimentary reservice visits to address recurring issues.
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.
