Did you know that it is a big misconception that ticks die off in the winter. They DO NOT die in the winter here in Connecticut and across the nation. Most go dormant or latch onto a host such as a deer, moose or any other warm blooded animal. Ticks either find shelter in leaf litters, wood piles and some burrow underground. They can remain active during the cooler months. Blacklegged ticks which carry Lyme Disease remain active as long as temperatures are above freezing. Its important to know that they are a threat year round.
