How to Prevent A Tick Takeover as U.S. Sees Increase in 2025 Tick Populations

Record rainfall and warmer temperatures provide ideal conditions for ticks to take over – Wondercide provides tips to prevent this.

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- There’s been a lot of talk about ticks lately and people are concerned. Communities across the country are chatting up online forums and social media groups looking for help. Residents are reporting an increase in the number and kind of ticks on pets, in yards, and on people and they’re not wrong. According to the CDC, tick bites have risen to a 5 year high.

Invasive tick species have migrated to the U.S. from other countries due to milder winters and warmer summers. Ticks thrive in damp environments where they multiply and grow. Rising temperatures and record rainfall serve as the ideal breeding ground for ticks– who reproduce at an alarming rate. For example, the long-horned and lone-star ticks are able to lay up to 2,000 eggs in their lifetime, creating rapid population growth that can lead to a tick invasion! This year experts are particularly concerned with Asian longhorned tick , known for reproducing without a male.

In response, Wondercide, the leader in plant-powered pest protection for pets, people, and homes, is sharing important information about how to identify these pests to avoid tick bites and set up tick prevention for pets.

Tick prevention.

Outdoors:
● When headed outdoors avoid walking through tall grass, dense brush, or leaf litter and bushy, wooded areas.
● If venturing out in these areas, wear protective clothing like long sleeves and pants to cover the body. Tuck pants into socks or boots. Treat clothing, shoes, and gear with permethrin (do not apply to skin).
● If hiking, stick to the center of hiking trails and stay on clear paths free of debris.
● Avoid sitting on the ground or logs: Ticks often cling to low vegetation or fallen wood.
● Use Repellant: Wondercide’s Insect Repellent for the Family is a plant-powered spray that uses steam-distilled essential oils to combat pesky critters like ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas. Families can choose from four different scents—peppermint, lemongrass, rosemary, and cedarwood—to protect the pack from ticks who are waiting eagerly to latch onto skin. By simply applying this spray as directed the family is ready to hit the trails!
● Protect pets. To protect the furrier family members, Wondercide’s Flea & Tick Spray is reporting for duty. This solution is a plant-powered spray designed to repel, prevent, and kill ticks, fleas, and mosquitos. Additionally, Wondercide’s Flea & Tick Collar is an effective added layer of protection to prevent ticks from latching onto pets. An alternative option for another layer of protection to the Collar is Wondercide’s Flea & Tick Spot On, applicable for pets 4 months and older just like the Collar.
● For a special deal, Wondercide’s Flea & Tick Protection Bundle comes equipped with everything pets need to combat pesky critters. This bundle includes Wondercide’s Peppermint Flea & Tick Pets + Home Spray and the Flea & Tick Collar For Dogs.

At Home:
● Mow the lawn regularly.
● Clear brush, tall grass, and leaf litter.
● Create a barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas.
● Discourage tick hosts like deer or rodents with fencing or deer-resistant plants.
● Keep woodpiles and bird feeders away from the house (they attract rodents and deer).
● Spray the yard. To arm the lawn with protection from ticks, Wondercide’s Flea & Tick Yard Spray will get the job done. This solution is lab-tested to kill, repel and prevent ticks while the residue is safe for beneficial pollinators including bees and butterflies! It covers up to 5,000 square feet and doesn’t require any dry time, making outdoor playtime for the pups easy to manage.

Indoors:
● Do a full-body tick check. Check under arms, in and around ears, inside the belly button, behind knees, in hair, between legs, and around the waist.
● Check pets by pulling back fur, inspecting the ears, the tail, under the neck, and any other hidden areas on pets.
● Double check gear. Ticks can hitch a ride on clothing, backpacks, and animals.
● Shower within 2 hours to help wash off ticks before they can attach.
● Wash clothes and gear and dry on high heat: 10 minutes in the dryer kills ticks on clothes.
● Protect the home. Since people and pets are susceptible to ticks, the home is also at risk. Wondercide’s Indoor Pest Control is a cruelty-free method of killing, repelling, and preventing ants, roaches, fleas, ticks, and more. The house will smell nice and fresh while the pest problem is kept at bay.
