Tick season tips!

May is National Lyme Disease Prevention Month — a reminder to stay tick aware and protect yourself and your family from tick-borne diseases.

Cornell Integrated Pest Management reminds you to:
✔️ Perform daily tick checks
✔️ Learn to recognize tick species
✔️ Remove ticks promptly and properly
✔️ Dress for ticks - tuck pants into socks and wear permethrin treated clothing

Ticks can hide in hard-to-see places like behind ears, under arms, behind knees and along the hairline — so don’t skip your daily check.
