Tick season isn’t just around the corner—it’s already here. And this year, the bugs are showing up early, sticking around longer, and bringing more than just itchy bites. Whether you’ve spotted them near your garden beds, along the woods, or clinging to your pup’s fur after a walk, ticks and mosquitoes are already in full swing across Rhode Island and the surrounding region.
At American Deer Proofing, we’re stepping up to make sure your yard stays a safe haven—not a hotspot for pests.
🧬 What We’re Up Against
Here’s what the experts—and our field techs—are seeing:
- Lyme disease continues to be the most common vector-borne illness in the U.S., with nearly 476,000 Americans treated each year, according to the CDC.
- Rhode Island remains one of the top states for Lyme disease cases, largely due to deer ticks thriving in our humid, wooded environments.
- Other tick-borne threats like anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus are on the rise, with babesiosis now nationally tracked due to increasing cases.
- Mosquitoes are active from April through October and can carry West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), and Jamestown Canyon virus.
So if you’ve been wondering whether it’s “too early” to worry about ticks and mosquitoes—it’s not. This is exactly when they’re getting comfortable.
