These tiny pests can carry dangerous diseases and latch onto people and pets without warning. If you live in St. Robert, Waynesville, or anywhere in Pulaski County, here’s what you should know about staying safe during tick season.

🕷️ Common Tick Species in Pulaski County

📅 Tick Season in the St. Robert & Waynesville Area

Ticks are active from early spring through late fall, especially:
