It’s Never Too Early to Think About Ticks

Deer ticks go dormant in winter when the temperature stays below freezing but start to wake up once the days get warmer. For ticks that didn’t find a host animal in the fall, they’re hungry and looking for a host animal. So they’re out in force this time of year in search of food. This is also the time that dog ticks are most active for the same reasons, so it’s important to be able to tell the difference between the two.
