    Ticks are back...already!~?

    ONE nice day....55 degrees yesterday here in PA. Took Sunny for a nice long walk. Came home to find a deer tick crawling on her head. Sigh..I didn't miss that. Frontline treatment for all 3 will begin today and continue through to the next full frost next Winter.

    Just giving you all a heads up

    There is no season for the Deer tick. Once the female is fertilize it will
    crawl up onto a branch and will go into a state of suspended animation
    until it senses the oder of a passing animal. It will release and fall onto
    the deer or dog or whatever. Once the tick draws blood the fertilized
    eggs will start to grow. This cycle can take years. The tick can literally hang on a branch for years waiting on a target. The release from the
    branch can occur in summer, winter, snow, or rain.
