‼️TICKS DON’T DIE IN WINTER‼️

Please remember that ticks DO NOT go away simply because it’s cold. You can even find them in the snow, and tall grasses in the dead of winter.

Yes, they are slower moving, and you see less because they will burrow for warmth… But they ARE still there… and can be actively biting and attaching in winter.

This is why it is extremely important to continue treatments while the weather permits.

Fall tick season hasn't even started yet.
