Only a few months removed from the harshest New England winter many of us have ever experienced, the bitter cold and endless mounds of snow are still fresh in our minds. It seems like yesterday that most of us in Massachusetts still had remnants of snow in our backyards.
The pest management industry kept a close watch on the winter weather and conferred with experts in our field to discuss how our harsh winter in Massachusetts helped the tick population to survive.
Here are several explanations as to why our terrible winter in the northeast created the perfect storm for ticks and mosquitoes.
- Like a thick blanket, deep snow insulated ticks in Massachusetts - allowing many to stay protected underneath.
- Burrowing under several feet of snow shielded ticks from the brutal wind - and the wind chill that was well below zero.
- Like all living beings, ticks and mosquitoes need water to survive. The melting snow created a springtime environment that was more conducive to fostering new life
