Plan Ahead, Make this Summer One to Remember with Tick Control

Posted by Mosquito Squad

December 19, 2023

For many of us, the year’s warmer months are ones to cherish and enjoy as much as possible. Northeastern living has a lot of upsides, but the unrelenting winters can be really depressing at times, which makes the spring and summer all the more enjoyable. When we emerge from our winter caves, the promise of warm weather brings back recollections of events, friendly gatherings, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. However, we aren’t the only ones who emerge from their winter slumbers when warmth returns. Once temperatures reach a base level of 45° F, ticks begin to wake from their shelters, and then the feeding begins. To our great misfortune, tick populations have been on an explosive rise in recent years, and the growing trend is only going to get worse. Climate change is changing our environmental conditions every year, and even slight temperature changes can allow ticks to emerge earlier and linger for longer. A longer tick season spells trouble, too, because ticks are effective disease vectors. To make an analogy, ticks are like a reusable, unwashed syringe that can go from animals to humans with ease. Many ticks are carriers of dangerous diseases due to their biting habits, so make sure your summer plans aren’t ruined by and infected tick bite.
