Why are ticks so prevalent compared to years ago?
That makes sense. Is there anything we can do to reduce the tick population?
Yes, there are a few things individuals can do to reduce their risk of encountering ticks. These include wearing long clothing when possible, using insect repellent, performing tick checks after spending time outside, and creating tick-safe zones in your yard by keeping grass short and removing any leaf litter or brush that may provide habitat for ticks.
