Why McCall homes get ticks and fleas

The volcanic loam and sandy soil that surrounds McCall is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what ticks and fleas need to thrive. The the Snake River Plain, mountains, and high desert adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Snake River and mountain reservoirs see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
