Deer ticks are a major concern across Strafford and the Seacoast region. They thrive in wooded areas, leaf litter, and shaded lawns. Adult ticks are about the size of a sesame seed, and nymphs—active during late spring and summer—are even smaller.
These ticks are the primary carriers of Lyme disease in New Hampshire and can also transmit anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus. Regular tick checks and treating outdoor areas are essential for Strafford residents, especially near wooded trails and stone walls.
These larger reddish-brown ticks have white markings on their backs and are often found in grassy areas, fields, and along hiking paths.
Though they don’t carry Lyme disease, they are known vectors for Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. Pet owners in Strafford should be especially vigilant in spring and early summer, when these ticks are most active.
Though historically more common in the South, Lone Star ticks have been increasingly reported in southern and eastern New Hampshire. Females are identified by a distinct white dot on their backs.
They prefer dense underbrush and shaded forest edges and may cause bites that trigger allergic reactions to red meat (alpha-gal syndrome). Their expanding presence in Strafford highlights the importance of proactive tick awareness and prevention measures.
Tick control and preventions are more crucial than ever to limit your family and pets from the dangers of tick-borne diseases. Ticks are resilient pests that can survive in various environments, making your yard a prime target. Without proper control measures, these tiny but dangerous insects can spread rapidly, threatening your outdoor spaces and peace of mind.
Ticks thrive in many areas of your yard, including:
Ticks love dense, shaded areas where they can easily latch onto passing animals or people.
These spots provide perfect hiding places, allowing ticks to remain undetected while waiting for their next host.
Ticks cling to low-hanging branches and shrubbery, making it easy to latch onto you or your pets as you pass by.
Even in seemingly harmless piles of leaves, ticks can hide and survive for months, waiting for the right conditions to emerge.
