Experts Predict Summer 2021 Will Be a ‘Tick Time Bomb’ — Here’s How to Stay Safe
“We are already seeing more ticks this season than last year.”
- Ekspè yo predi ete 2021 yo pral yon "bonm tan tik."
- Akòz yon sezon fredi twò grav, pifò pati nan peyi a yo deja wè plis tikè sezon sa a pase ane pase, kòm ti ensèk yo boujonnen nan imidite.
- Men ki jan yo pwoteje tèt ou kont mòde tik, ki ka mennen nan divès maladi ki gen ladan maladi Lyme.
Chak ete, nou tande menm avètisman an: Li pral yon move ane pou tik. Men, entolojis (a.k.a. ekspè ensèk) di ke 2021 te kapab viv jiska mesaj sa a. An reyalite, Chanèl la Move tan menm refere yo bay ane sa a kòm yon "bonm tan tik."
Robert Lockwood, asosye sètifye entomolojis sètifye pou Kontwòl Ehrlich Pest, di ekspè yo deja remake yon popilasyon pwospere nan 2021. "Akòz sezon fredi yo twò grav ak chanjman klima, nou deja wè plis tikè sezon sa a pase ane pase a," li te di.
Poukisa yon pwoblèm sezon fredi mouye? Tik pwosè nan imidite. Kòm yon rezilta, "rejyon ki gen eksperyans pi cho ak sezon fredi pi cho pral gen pi wo popilasyon tikè sezon prentan sa a ak ete," di Ben Hottel, Ph.D., manadjè sèvis teknik pou Orkin.
The warmer and moister an environment becomes, “the faster the arthropod life cycle is completed,” explains Anna Berry, a board-certified entomologist and technical manager at Terminix. “When it gets very cold, very hot, or very dry, it may take longer to go from one stage of development to the next.” A wet winter and spring, along with warm temperatures, “provides the necessary warmth and humidity for fast development,” she says.

Summer tick season used to be a problem only in the southern part of Ontario, but tick populations are moving north as the climate grows warmer.

Mosquitos are nasty creatures. They bite, they transmit terrible diseases to people and pets, and from what I read, they have absolutely no redeeming value in the ecosystem.
