Continue doing tick checks, even in January and February. Ticks survive cold by burrowing into leaf litter, soil, and brush piles, which act like insulated blankets. Snow cover actually protects ticks from extreme cold. Deer, mice, birds, dogs, and even humans help ticks stay active through winter. Trails used by wildlife are especially risky during mild winter weather.

Ticks Can Be Active All Winter
Ticks don’t die off in winter. They wait. If it’s not deeply frozen, they can still be active and biting. Adult blacklegged (deer) ticks are active anytime temperatures are above freezing (around 37–40°F). Warm winter days, thaws, and sunny afternoons can bring ticks out to quest. Hiking, hunting, yard cleanup, collecting firewood, and walking dogs can all expose you to ticks. People often let their guard down in winter, which increases risk.

Even after the first frost, adult ticks are still active anytime it’s above freezing. They just hide in leaf litter and wait for the next warm day.

A baby tick (called a nymph) is about the size of a poppy seed, yet it can survive freezing winters, days underwater, and months without food!

Birds carry ticks long distances. Some blacklegged ticks in New England started their journey hundreds of miles away.

Donations help Bebop Labs tackle health and environmental issues. 100% of donations go directly to supporting our purpose. Your donation is tax deductible. We greatly appreciate your support!

1. BeBop Labs is collecting, identifying, and tracking areas with heavy tick populations and tick-borne diseases. Our organization is part of Prevention and Awareness, Surveillance, and Diagnosis. Our success is due to the efforts of community scientists. With the changing climate, it is now a necessity to continually track our risk of tick-borne diseases, especially in our northern and underserved state of New Hampshire.

2. BeBop Labs offers water testing, consultations about the results, and recommendations for improvement.

3. Our future lab will be open to the community, local businesses, and, of course, schools.

Pictured is an adult male blacklegged tick. Blacklegged ticks are also known as deer ticks and can carry diseases like Lyme. It’s a common myth that only female ticks bite, but male ticks do it too! They do not lay eggs, but the males still need blood to move through their life stages.

Blacklegged (deer) tick season is still upon us. This is a picture of an engorged Blacklegged tick. A tick can stay attached for 3–5 days, slowly drinking blood and getting bigger as it feeds.
