Getting outside in Montana is a favorite pastime for most residents. It's also where you will encounter ticks. Here are what ones to be on the lookout for.
Tick Season in Montana: Protecting You and Your Pets
Just seeing a picture of a tick gives me the heebie-jeebies. Those nasty little critters literally make my skin crawl. Springtime is tick time in Montana and they love the weather we ve been enjoying lately. As you head out to the rivers, parks and woods, make sure you are checking your pets and yourself for ticks.
Ticks like grassy, brushy, wooded areas like river bottoms. They do not drop down out of trees or jump or fly. They just sit and wait for a warm blooded creature to wander by then they latch on with their eight sticky little legs and start crawling up your body. You probably won t even notice them creeping up your leg, searching for just the right spot to latch on to your skin and start sucking blood.
