Ticks like dry weather. An abundance of small mammals like rabbits & mice help them along too.
We've only seen a modest amount this summer & that was early in the season. Haven't seen one in 3 months.
ric, that must be it, left coast critters like wet weather.....our small mammal populations were way down this year too. in wet years theres ticks all over out here....at least on my property.
