Will Ticks Die Out in the Fall?

Ticks can live for years in the wild, meaning many will survive. Keep them away with Wynnewood PA tick control

The summer months are finally coming to their mild end and letting the first touches of fall creep in, but what does this mean for your outdoor lifestyle? In Wynnewood, where autumn is glorious and we still have warm weather to enjoy, you might think that pests will go away, but the unfortunate truth is that they are here to stay for a while. In Pennsylvania and much of the Northeast, ticks are a huge problem, and their resilience in the face of cooler temperatures makes them even more difficult to deal with. Indeed, ticks are extremely hardy insects and don’t die off like mosquitoes do when winter temperatures arrive. Rather, ticks are capable of surviving near-freezing temperatures, and they are capable of overwintering in underground dens made by rodents, meaning they will find shelter and patiently bide their time for the return of spring and summer. With these characteristics in mind, it’s important to remember that ticks can remain active and remain a significant threat to your health and happiness throughout the outdoor living season and well into fall, putting you at risk of more tick encounters. 

Why are ticks so loathed? As you may know, ticks are the source of the spread of Lyme disease throughout our region and much of the United States, and they are responsible for quite a few additional diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control, over 475,000 people in the country become infected with Lyme disease each year, highlighting the severity of this public health crisis. Because Lyme disease can so easily be mistaken for the common cold or other ailments, it is difficult to diagnose at times. With this in mind, it has never been more important to consider ways to keep ticks away from you and your family. If you consider the long-term consequences of a chronic case of Lyme disease, you need to understand the lifelong consequences that can occur, so why take the risk? Professional help is your best bet to keep ticks away in the summer as well as in the fall.
