**The Back-to-School Myth**

Many people think tick season ends the moment the kids go back to school. In reality, we often see a second wave of adult deer ticks across Manorville, Ridge, and Wading River in late September and October. As local deer become more active heading into their fall mating season, they bring more ticks right into your yard with them.

**Keep the Shield Strong**

Don't cancel your tick service just because the air is getting crisp. Maintaining that perimeter barrier is essential, especially as you spend more time outside enjoying the fall weather or raking leaves. We want to make sure the only thing you're bringing into your house this autumn is a bag of leaves, not a tick.
