Tick context for New Hampshire
Wooded and brushy edge habitat is the main planning focus in this region. Blacklegged ticks are established broadly, while American dog ticks and lone star ticks may also be encountered. Species presence alone does not prove that a particular pathogen is present at a property or in a county.
Ticks to distinguish
- Blacklegged tick
- Widely established in the eastern United States; nymphs and adults can bite people.
- American dog tick
- Widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains and most active for human encounters in spring and summer.
- Lone star tick
- Established across much of the East; its range has expanded northward and local distribution is uneven.
Seasonal planning
Do not treat the first frost as the end of tick season. Penn State reports blacklegged-tick adults can seek hosts in fall and on winter days above freezing, while nymph activity is more associated with late spring and summer.
Where to inspect first
- Leaf litter and shaded wooded edges
- Brushy transitions between lawn and woods
- Trails, stone walls, wood piles, and places used by wildlife
Property action checklist
- 1Remove leaf litter from high-use areas
- 2Separate recreation areas from brushy borders
- 3Check people, pets, clothing, and gear after outdoor activity
