Ticks are a problematic pest that can do serious harm to both humans and animals. Tick bites are not just irritable, they can be dangerous, and these bloodsucking insects carry viruses, bacteria and parasites that can be passed to bite victims.
Ticks can be active at any time of year but tend to be most prevalent in the yard from spring to summer. While this will vary depending on where you live, tick populations are usually at their peak from April to July, when the days are long and the evenings are mild.
