Deer Tick Control: Activity in the Fall
According to Tick Encounter, a University of Rhode Island resource for New England tick information, fall is not the time to cease your tick prevention efforts. In spring and summer, several types of ticks are active, including the types of ticks that do not carry Lyme disease: Lone Star ticks and American dog ticks. In the fall, Lone Star and dog ticks are no longer active – which means any ticks you see this time of year, are likely deer ticks. And that means they might be carrying Lyme.
“Female deer ticks are particularly dangerous; around 50% are infected with the Lyme disease bacteria in the New England, mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwestern states; and the likelihood of disease increases the longer they’re attached and feeding. Fewer (about 5-15%) of these same ticks are infected in the southeastern and south-central states. In addition to the Lyme disease bacteria, blacklegged ticks may also carry the germs that cause babesiosis, anaplasmosis, a relapsing fever borrelia, and much more rarely, the deadly Powassan virus.” – Tick Encounter
It’s also a good idea to continue doing tick checks – Tick Encounter recommends paying careful attention to your waist.
