Ticks are unfortunately quite common here in Upstate New York. These pests can transmit Lyme disease to pets and humans, so it is important to be vigilant of their presence. But when are they active?

Ticks are most active when it’s warm – think spring, summer, and fall. But the reality is if the temperature outside is above freezing, ticks may be active.

To help prevent ticks landing on you, your family, and your pets:

  • Keep your yard well-maintained with regular mowing and cleanup of any leaf/stick debris
  • Wear long pants when going into areas of vegetation
  • Check for ticks before returning inside your home
  • Consider an external tick control treatment from your local pest control professional
