STRIKING A DEADLY BLOW AGAINST TICKS AND LYME DISEASE

As you read this, many of our local ticks are finishing off their third blood meal, which means they are mature enough to lay eggs. For the Ixodes scapularis, better known as the black-legged deer tick, this final feast can last up to five days. During this time, if the tick is infected with any pathogens, such as Lyme Disease or Babesiosis, those diseases are transmitted.

Fully engorged, tick will fall off its host and lumber off in search of a safe place to lay its clutch of 2,000 eggs. Mouse or other small rodent dens are favorite places for ticks to burrow. They make ideal homes over the winter months for the tick nymphs: warmth, shelter, and a ready-made meal all close at hand. It is the perfect scenario for increasing the tick population throughout the North Shore region. And rest assured, if you have a yard, with any landscaping or stonework, you have these little furry creatures as co-residents.
