Tick Season 2024 Arrives middle of May to mid August
Know where to expect ticks: Ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, brushy areas with high grass, and leaf litter. They are most active during the warmer months (spring and summer).
Treat clothing and gear with permethrin: Permethrin is an insecticide that kills ticks on contact. You can buy permethrin spray and treat your clothes, shoes, and camping gear.
Use insect repellent: Choose an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET (at least 20% concentration), picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD), or 2-undecanone. Apply repellent to exposed skin and clothing according to the product instructions.
Avoid contact with ticks: Stay on the center of trails when hiking and avoid wooded areas with high grass. Tuck your pants into your socks and wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors in tick-infested areas.
Shower soon after being outdoors: Showering within 2 hours of being outdoors can help wash off unattached ticks and reduce the risk of infection.
Perform regular tick checks: After spending time outdoors, do a thorough body check for ticks, including your scalp, armpits, behind the ears, groin area, and between the legs. Use a mirror to check hard-to-see areas. @CDC #ticks
