Dill tells WVII deer tick population peaked in October
WVII (Channel) spoke with Jim Dill, a pest management specialist with the University of Maine Cooperative for a story on what happens to the deer tick population in Maine when the weather begins to turn colder in October. “This actually is the biggest time of the year for deer ticks. And the deer tick is the most common tick right now,” Dill said. “The deer tick is out and active as long as it’s 40 degrees.”
