Increased temps mean more ticks

 

With climate change upon us, the temperatures continue to rise and so does the growing threat of ticks. With predictions for days of 35+ degrees rising 20-25 days annually by 2050, we should be ways to address climate change. These radical environment variations increase favorable territories for ticks to live off their hosts. The increase we’re seeing in bug and pest population is happening right now. “This is a very real impact of climate disruption that Deltians are feeling today,” said Randy Bilesky, President of Go Green Pest Control Corp.

“Ticks and insects are part of the outdoor experience, but their exploding populations due to our changing climate will make enjoying the outdoors with your family an unsafe experience,” said Bilesky. “It’s vital that our leaders  support climate policies that will protect our economy and our health.”
