I am from Illinois too, I am from Southern Illinois and i can tell you we always see ticks really early in the spring but not this early,But I found one crawling up my leg about a weeks ago and i found a Dead one on Tuckers tummy.Last summer i had 2 Doberman/Boxer mixes and no matter how much frontline i put on them they were covered in ticks(they were outside dogs)! Illinois is horrible for ticks and last year there was even a few cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in Humans around here,That is so scary to me!!Are your Fur baby/babies on flea and tick meds yet? Tucker stays on them Year around now,We have him on Advantix and it is working great! |
