When are ticks most active? Ticks may seek out their prey during the cold hours of the night up until dawn but they are most active during the warmer hours of the day. This is also why they seem to be everywhere during the summer months. Your best tool would be a fine-tipped pair of tweezers. Never handle a tick with your bare hands.
Fixit: Ticks' life cycle shows why they appear in spring, not summer. Q Starting in May, wood ticks appear to run wild, then they seem to disappear by July. What happens to them? I realize I am never safe from wood ticks until frost, but when is it safer to stroll through wood tick territory? Do all ticks (dog and deer) have this same cycle? A The life cycle of the wood tick (also called American dog tick) helps explain why you see them in the spring, but not in the summer. These ticks have a two-year life cycle. Eggs are laid in early summer and hatch into larvae. They don't feed until they turn into nymphs the following spring.
