Why Humidity Affects Ticks in Monroe County

Ticks are highly sensitive to desiccation and require humidity above 70% to survive. When humidity spikes, tick activity increases dramatically as they can remain active longer on vegetation.

Recommended Action

Avoid tall grass and wooded edges during high humidity. Treat clothing with permethrin and use EPA-registered repellent.
