As the warm months roll in, so do some of the tiniest — yet most dangerous — threats to your family and pets: ticks. And while things are starting to taper off, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the worst tick seasons in recent history across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. But there’s good news: SeaScape is here to help you take back your yard with our trusted YardGuard Tick Control services.
Why 2025 Is a High-Risk Year for Ticks
According to the CDC and local entomologists, the Northeast is seeing record tick activity this season. Several factors are to blame:
Warmer, wetter weather is creating the perfect breeding ground for ticks.
Earlier seasonal starts — ticks now become active when temperatures exceed 40°F, often as early as March.
An increase in invasive species, like the lone star tick, which brings new risks including alpha-gal syndrome (a red meat allergy).
Combined, these trends are fueling a spike in tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. In fact, studies now show that over 50% of adult deer ticks in our region carry the Lyme bacterium.
Thomas Mather, a professor of public health and entomology at the University of Rhode Island told 12 News there’s been an increase of tick reports made on “TickSpotters,” the free online resource he helps run through URI.
