Tick Prevalence Maps

Because we don't know where they'll end up next

Ticks may be anywhere.1 As a result of migrating birds, spread of host animals, warmer climate or human activity, ticks are rapidly and inevitably expanding their range.2, 3

Take a look at the maps below from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing the expected geographic distribution of the lone star tick, Gulf Coast tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick. Plus, the CDC indicates these populations of ticks may be found outside the noted areas.1

R. sanguineus (brown dog tick)
