Understanding Ticks: A Guided Tour of These Tiny Troublemakers
Before we dive into our arsenal of defence methods, it's crucial to understand the enemy. In Toronto, ticks are most active from early spring through late fall. They thrive in lush lawns, leaf piles, and areas with stagnant water—essentially turning these spots into luxury resorts for ticks, all in search of a warm body for their next meal. In your quest for a tick-free home, knowing your adversary is half the battle.
