Ticks are tiny parasites that can pose a big problem to both humans and pets. A tick bite can result in the transmission of serious diseases. As the tick population continues to grow every year, the beliefs surrounding ticks have also grown increasingly elaborate. Even though the internet provides a lot of information about ticks, how much of it is true?
While you wrap up a warm, activity-filled summer, welcome a new school year, and plan for the upcoming fall festivities, you may also have to deal with some unwanted guests who pay a visit around this time of the year.

Soon after that, you will have to endure the long winter months and snow storms that come with it.
With the explosion of the deer population in several parts of the eastern U.S., it is not uncommon to sight a deer in your backyard, in both suburban areas as well as urban locations. If left undeterred, they are capable of trampling your yard and eating your plants or vegetation, leaving you with an unsightly landscape and costly repair bills. Moreover, these animals are popular hosts for black-legged ticks that you do not want anywhere near your home. In fact, deer ticks are not only nasty, bloodsucking pests, they may also be carriers of diseases such as Colorado tick fever or Lyme disease, posing a threat to the health of your family and pets.
As you ease into the warm, summer months, your outdoor plans will be at an all-time high. However, if there is one thing that you may be constantly wary of, it is the bugs and insects that may be lurking around in your yard. While mosquitoes may appear to be your peak problem, the tiny bloodsucking ticks could be a bigger health hazard than you imagine. Know more about these black legged parasites, their life cycle and how they feed and breed, so that you can take the right precautions to protect yourself and your family from nasty bites and tick borne diseases.
Whether you lead an active, outdoorsy lifestyle, or have young school-going children, if you stay in and around Pennsylvania, you may be familiar with tick bites. With ticks being attracted to humans and pets, you or someone around you has probably been bitten by this pesky bug at some point.
Tick infestations are a common occurrence in several parts of the country. While they usually breed and multiply in the summer months, they can remain active through a large part of the year, as long as the temperature stays above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. These blood sucking parasites usually hide in shrubs, wooded, grassy areas and leaf piles, and cling to your bodies, especially when you are outdoors. Since they can easily move between both humans and pets, they can transfer themselves to anyone who comes in contact with the original body that they latched on to.

It is that time of the year when you finally shed your winter clothing, admire the tiny green shoots in your neighborhood, and step out with a spring in your step. But there is one potential risk that you, your children and your pets may be exposed to, from spring through fall.
