Why are ticks so prevalent compared to years ago?
I've been hearing a lot of people talking about how there are more ticks around these days. Do you know why that is?
Yes, I believe there are a few factors contributing to the increase in tick populations. One is the warmer temperatures and longer summers we've been experiencing. Ticks thrive in warm, moist environments. Additionally, human activity and development has caused changes in ecosystems that can benefit ticks, such as the increase in deer populations.
