Time to check: tick season already underway in Saskatchewan
Pesky ticks are already back to bugging humans and pets in Saskatchewan.
Saskatoon Veterinarian Henry Kucharski noted a change in when ticks arrive in the province.
“Fifteen years ago I’d only see one or two ticks between June or July,” he said. “Now they start in March and sometimes we find them in the winter time.”
Kucharski links the drastic increase in ticks to migrating birds.
