Tick context for Michigan

Compare all U.S. regions

Blacklegged ticks are established across substantial parts of the Upper Midwest, but county-level establishment and pathogen prevalence vary. Wooded habitat, leaf litter, and the lawn-to-woods edge deserve more attention than open, sunny lawn.

Important distinction: a species being reported in a region does not prove that it is present on a specific property or carrying a pathogen there. Identification, exposure history, and current county or state surveillance matter.

Ticks to distinguish

Blacklegged tick: Established in many Upper Midwest counties and the principal regional tick associated with Lyme disease transmission.
American dog tick: Common across much of the region, especially in grassy and more open habitat.
Lone star tick: More common toward southern portions of the region; reported distribution continues to change.

Seasonal planning

Exposure can occur whenever temperatures permit activity. Planning should account for small nymphs during warmer months and adult blacklegged ticks during cooler fall periods rather than relying on one universal “peak month.”

Where to inspect first

Woodlands and brushy trail margins
Moist leaf litter and shaded yard edges
Tall grass and wildlife travel corridors

Property action checklist

1Prioritize the lawn-to-woods perimeter during inspection
