Show Notes
Ticks are on the rise in Maine, with a significant increase in recent weeks, especially after rainfall. Dog owners are reporting multiple ticks on their pets after walks. To combat this, focus on controlling rodents in your yard, as they carry ticks. Professionals use baited boxes treated with a safe chemical to kill ticks on contact. The highest activity is near the woods edge, where leaf litter accumulates. If you find a tick, remove it with tweezers and consider sending it for testing. Stay proactive to protect against tick-borne diseases this season.
