DON’T LET TICKS STICK.
Take steps to prevent tick bites when enjoying time outside:
1. Reduce time spent in areas where ticks are active such as tall grass or wooded areas.
2. Wear long, light colored clothing when outside in areas where ticks may be.
3. Apply insect repellents approved by the U.S. Environmental Protections Agency (EPA).
4. Regularly scan your arms and legs for climbing ticks.
5. Perform regular tick checks on your pets.
