“Ticks are most active in the spring in most climates, but they do not disappear in the fall. Fall is often the time of year pet parents find the most ticks. This is due to ticks settling into fall foliage for a nice, cozy winter.  Remember the fall is right around the corner!  Ticks are not just a summer problem. While some types of ticks may slow down when it gets colder, others are just getting started. A lot of the risk depends on the species of ticks you are dealing with, and your region of the country. Simply put, ticks should be considered as a year-round health threat, with autumn being a major tick season.”
