Ticks

Ticks live all over the United States, but are most common in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic,and Upper Midwest based on Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting. Ticks can spread germs with lifecycles up to 3 years, and the CDC states that ticks are spreading more disease in recent years. In the Northeast, New England, and the north Central U.S. the warm, wet spring led into a mild, wet summer which has caused tick populations to thrive. The mild Great Lakes spring followed by a warm and wet summer and increased rainfall in the Northwest also shows an increase in tick activity.

Best treatment practices depend on the type of tick, but a good first line of defense is to eliminate sources of standing water, repair all holes that could serve as entry points into the property/ structure of your home
