Stay a Step Ahead of Ticks &

Kansas City summers belong outside — the yard, the lake, the trails. Ticks and fleas have other plans. We help you take the yard back with targeted treatments that reduce tick and flea pressure where your family and pets actually spend time.

Why this matters in Missouri

The lone star tick — Missouri’s most common tick — is now found in every county in the state. It’s also the species most associated with alpha-gal syndrome, a red-meat allergy that can develop after a tick bite. Missouri is one of the country’s epicenters, with an estimated 80,000+ cases, and because reactions are delayed 3–8 hours after eating, it’s often missed or misdiagnosed. (Sources: CDC; University of Missouri.)

We won’t promise a tick-proof yard — nobody honestly can. What we can do is meaningfully reduce tick and flea pressure on your property, and help you build habits that lower your family’s exposure. That’s what staying a step ahead looks like. And if you or someone you love is dealing with alpha-gal: it’s real, it’s recognized, and you’re not alone. Ask your doctor about the alpha-gal IgE blood test.

What we do

Targeted yard treatments — we treat tick and flea harborage zones: tall grass edges, brush lines, shaded beds, under decks — the places pests actually live, not just a blanket spray. Flea control, inside and out — flea problems usually start outside or hitch a ride on pets, so we treat the source and break the life cycle. And prevention guidance on every visit — mowing height, brush clearing, pet timing. Small habits that make treatments work harder.

Your backyard game plan

1. Keep grass mowed and brush cleared at the yard’s edges. 2. Treat clothes and gear with permethrin before yard time, and use an EPA-registered repellent. 3. Shower and do a full tick check within 2 hours of coming inside. 4. Want backup? Tick & flea treatment is included in X Ultimate and X Exterior Premium — or add it to any plan.

2. The X Guarantee: if activity comes back between visits, so do we — at no additional charge. No binding contracts, transparent pricing, and a family that stands behind every visit. Call or text 816-578-6060, or request a free estimate at xpestmanagement.com/estimate.
