Things to Know About Ticks in New England in March

🕷️ Adult Ticks Wake Up Early
- As soon as temperatures rise above freezing, adult blacklegged (deer) ticks become active again after winter. A few warm days in March can bring them out quickly.

❄️ Snow Doesn’t Kill Ticks
- Ticks survive winter by hiding under leaf litter, soil, and snow cover, which actually insulates them from extreme cold. When the snow melts, they’re ready to quest.

🌡️ Temperature Matters More Than the Calendar
- Ticks don’t follow seasons — they follow weather.
- If it’s above ~40°F, ticks can be active even in late winter or early spring.

🍂 Leaf Litter = Peak Early Spring Habitat
March yard cleanup, gardening, and trail walking can increase exposure because ticks are hiding in:
- Wet leaves
- Brush piles
- Woodpiles
- Edges of trails and stone walls

In recent years, Lone Star ticks (Amblyomma americanum), once mostly found in the southeastern U.S., have been expanding into New England, with established populations now documented in parts of Massachusetts and neighboring states, likely due to warmer winters, expanding deer populations, and changes in habitat.

Unlike blacklegged (deer) ticks, Lone Star ticks are very aggressive human biters and can carry different pathogens, including the bacteria that cause ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and other illnesses, plus they’re associated with alpha-gal syndrome, an allergy to red meat that can develop after a bite and persist long-term. Their broader range of habitats and expanding populations mean more people in New England may encounter them, so awareness and bite-prevention measures are increasingly important.
