The Best Time To Put Out Tick Tubes
Tick tubes should be put out twice a year – once in
spring and once in late summer. The first application
kills nymphal ticks that emerge in the spring and the
second application kills larval ticks that hatch in late
summer. It is essential to set Tick Tubes out both
times of the year to achieve best results.
Spring applications should be made in April or May
(Mid-Atlantic and further south in April; New England
and northern areas in May). Summer applications
should be made in late July.
The summer application is critical in order to kill
larval ticks hatching in early fall that turn into next
spring’s nymphal ticks. These ticks will feed on
mice making new summer nests. In order to kill the
ticks you must treat these new nests with tick tubes’
specially treated material.
Young ticks feed on mice.
