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.
Deer ticks are widespread across Western Massachusetts—especially in the Berkshires, wooded neighborhoods, and along the Connecticut River Valley. Females have a reddish body and a dark shield-like scutum behind the head. Nymphs are tiny and hard to spot, but both life stages can spread Lyme disease, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis. Found in shaded yards, leaf litter, and wooded trails, these ticks are active even in cool weather.
Easily found along hiking trails, meadows, and in open, sunny yards. Adult wood ticks are larger than deer ticks with distinctive brown and white patterning. Active from late spring through summer, they don’t spread Lyme disease but can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. Their bites can also lead to irritation or secondary infections.
Less common but increasing in presence throughout southern and central Western Massachusetts. Females sport a distinctive white spot on their backs. These ticks prefer moist woodlands and brushy areas and can transmit ehrlichiosis and southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI).
