Protecting against ticks

Posted on May 13, 2020 01:19 PM

As tick season arrives, please take note of a few important tips and tricks to prevent ticks on both you and your pets.

A tick is very small and can range in size from a poppy seed to a small grape (when engorged). They do not jump or fly. Ticks are normally found in forested areas or areas with long grass, where they attach themselves to humans and animals passing by.

On humans, ticks normally attach to areas such as the groin, armpits, hairline or behind the ears.
