What to know this season in Ontario
Peak activity typically spans April - November for blacklegged ticks, with variation by region and weather.
Risk is highest in wooded, brushy, and edge habitats. Trails and yards at the forest edge deserve extra care.
Prompt removal matters. The sooner a tick is removed, the lower the chance of transmission.
