Tick Season in Florida: What Local Families Should Know

Ticks are active year‑round in Florida, and several species can spread illnesses to people and pets. Some, like nymph‑stage ticks, are so small they’re easy to miss — which increases the risk of disease transmission.

Common Florida Ticks & Risks
Lone Star Tick — the most common human‑biting tick in Florida; can transmit ehrlichiosis and STARI.
American Dog Tick — can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever and may cause paralysis in pets and children if attached near the spine or skull.
Black‑Legged (Deer) Tick — known for spreading Lyme disease, though cases are less common in Florida.

Prevention Tips for Your Family & Pets
Remove ticks quickly — they must feed for several hours to transmit disease.
Wear light‑colored, tucked‑in clothing in wooded or brushy areas.
Check yourself, kids, and pets after spending time outdoors.
Keep yards maintained by clearing brush and creating tick‑free zones

If You Develop Symptoms After a Tick Bite
Seek medical attention — symptoms can take days or even weeks to appear depending on the disease.

Spot the Signs of Ticks in Your Yard

Think ticks only hide in the woods? Think again.
Ticks love everyday yard spaces — mulch beds, shaded corners, tall grass, wood piles, and even the edges where your lawn meets the tree line.

If you’re seeing more wildlife in your yard (squirrels, raccoons, deer), you’re likely seeing more ticks too. And once they’re in your outdoor space, they’re quick to latch onto kids, pets, and anyone enjoying the yard.

At Mosquito Shield Tallahassee, our tick‑focused treatments help reduce activity by targeting the areas where ticks live, breed, and wait for their next host.

✔️ Helps protect your family and pets
✔️ Targets high‑risk zones around your property
✔️ Season‑long tick and mosquito control
✔️ Local, veteran‑owned service you can trust
