When are ticks active?
Ticks are active from spring to autumn, with activity often peaking in April to June and again in late summer. They can become active whenever temperatures rise above approximately +5 °C.
How to reduce the risk
Use protective clothing and repellents, stay on clear paths and check people and pets after spending time outdoors.
- Check the neck, ears, armpits and knee folds
- Inspect pets after walks
- Keep grass shorter near frequently used areas
- Consider professional yard treatment in higher-risk locations
