I live in Massachusetts in a city ten minutes from Boston and I don't thinks there is any lyme disease around where I live at least that is what my vet told me. But I know it is down Cape Cod Mass. I thought I was safe walking in the woods since we had our first frost and a little bit of SNOW already
the ticks are usually gone after that, but we have had some 60 degree plus days and almost 70 degrees so the little creepy crawlers have made another appearance. I have always used melaluca and tea tree oil sprays which can be a natural deterant with my 11 year old GSD and we would go hiking all summer long and never had ticks but the reason why I was inquiring on these products is because of the chemical factor so maybe I will just go back to the natural stuff with my pup.
