Concerns over ticks and associated health risks are on the rise. Now, while ticks are most active, is the best time to control them. The nymphs, an immature tick about the size of a pinhead, are our major concern because they feed in the late spring and summer, when people spend more time outdoors. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, research in the Eastern United States has indicated that the majority of tick related diseases are most commonly transmitted to humans by nymphs since they are rarely noticed due to their small size. |
