Why Ballinger homes get ticks and fleas
The clay, sandy loam, and blackland prairie that surrounds Ballinger is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what ticks and fleas need to thrive. The the Gulf Coastal Plain, the Hill Country, and the plains adds harborage, and the varied, humid subtropical to semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Gulf of Mexico, lakes, and rivers see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
