Tick and Mosquito seasons in the Capital Region of New York can be intense, especially as the weather warms up and outdoor activities increase. This causes Mosquito and Tick threats to increase substantially. Understanding what to expect and how to prepare can help you stay ahead of these pests and protect your family, pets, and property.
Tick Season: A Year-Round Concern
Ticks are active whenever temperatures rise above freezing, making them a year-round threat in the Capital Region. However, their activity peaks during the spring and summer months when people are more likely to spend time outdoors.
What to Expect:
- Ticks thrive in wooded areas, tall grasses, and even landscaped yards.
- Nymph-stage ticks, which are smaller and harder to spot, are particularly active in late spring and early summer.
- These pests carry diseases like Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis, which can affect both humans and pets.
Mosquito Season: Warm Weather Brings Swarms
Mosquitoes become a nuisance as soon as temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. The season typically starts in late spring and extends through early fall, with peak activity during hot and humid summer months.
What to Expect:
- Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so expect higher activity near ponds, pools, and poorly drained areas.
- They are most active at dawn and dusk, making these times high-risk for bites.
- Mosquitoes in the region can transmit diseases like West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
