Are fleas and ticks seasonal

Fleas and ticks have impeccable fighting power. Even in colder months, they will do anything to stay alive. While these pesky parasites tend to increase as temperatures rise, they aren’t completely seasonal.

What time of year are fleas most active

Temperature and humidity play a big role in creating the perfect climate for flea and tick activity. The ideal temperature ranges from 75° to 85° F and around 90% humidity. Both thrive in warm climates and fleas are particularly favorable to humid conditions.

Fleas are most active in the early spring, summer, and fall. Ticks live in wooded areas and tall grass starting in the spring through the fall season.

Adult fleas may have a hard time surviving harsh winters. But flea eggs, flea pupae, and larvae can survive all year. Common hiding spots where pets spend time include your attic, floorboards, and furniture.

Dealing with an active flea infestation?

Knocking out all stages of the flea life cycle is the only way to get rid of fleas and keep them from coming back.
