When the temperature rises, ticks become more active, which increases human and animal exposure to them, and the diseases they may carry.However, we shouldn't be so quick to assume that [Cape Cod](http://www.burgesspest.com/service-areas/cape-cod/) tick season is exclusively relegated to these three seasons. ![Cape Cod tick season](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_105513569.jpg?width=320&name=shutterstock_105513569.jpg "Cape Cod tick season") Although ticks on Cape Cod, or anywhere for that matter, are more active when the temperature is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it is possible to encounter live ticks year-round, even during the coldest months of the year. Why is this? Snow has a tendency to act as an insulating layer for ticks, and all soft bodied pests. The layer of snow acts as a blanket, shielding them from harsh wind, which could potentially kill them. Although the [Burgess Pest Management](http://www.burgesspest.com/) Cape Cod tick control team does not traditionally treat for ticks during the winter, we've seen them walking across piles of snow in January. Ticks on Cape Cod are certainly less active in cold weather. However, you should still exercise precautions when you go outside, especially if you're a hiker or anyone who has exposure to grassy areas.The reality of the threat posed by ticks, such as Lyme disease on Cape Cod, is that we should always remain vigilant. Cape Cod tick season is not something to overlook.  [![Take 10% Off](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/460754/f516fe21-af81-4ad7-b7b8-e827b3fa5473.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/460754/f516fe21-af81-4ad7-b7b8-e827b3fa5473) Topics: [cape cod tick control](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/cape-cod-tick-control), [burgess pest management](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/burgess-pest-management), [cape cod tick season](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/cape-cod-tick-season), [cape cod ticks](https://blog.burgesspest.com/blog/topic/cape-cod-ticks)  Thanks for visiting today!   ## **Have a Pest Problem?**   **[![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/460754/cb31fb6d-9c1e-4916-b4b7-a37bbc4590a1.png)](http://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/460754/cb31fb6d-9c1e-4916-b4b7-a37bbc4590a1)** ### Get the latest in your inbox ### Recent Posts ##### Residential Pest Control - [Pad Protection Plans](https://www.burgesspest.com/pad-protection-plans/) - [Ant Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-ant-control/) - [Tick & Mosquito Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-tick-mosquito-control/) - [Rodent Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-rodent-control/) - [Bee Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-bee-control/) - [Insulation Cleanouts](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-insulation-cleanouts/) - [TAP® Insulation](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-tap-insulation-installer/) - [Massachusetts Wildlife Control](https://www.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-wildlife-control/) - [Schedule an Inspection](https://www.burgesspest.com/schedule-an-inspection/) ##### COMPANY - [Our Story](https://www.burgesspest.com/our-story/) - [Careers at Burgess](https://www.burgesspest.com/careers-at-burgess/) - [Service Areas](https://www.burgesspest.com/service-areas/) - [Customer Reviews](https://www.burgesspest.com/customer-reviews/) ##### Contact Us [508-587-4309](tel:508-587-4309) [email](mailto:info@burgesspest.com) - - - - ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG: © 2022 Burgess Pest Management.
