2026 has been a record breaking year for ticks.
Even though tick bites are not a new issue for us here in Western, PA, Please be extra cautious and don't forget to check yourself, kids, and pets regularly!

Ticks can be found almost anywhere—tall grass, leaf piles, wooded trails, and even your own backyard. A few quick steps can help keep you safe: treat your clothes and gear with permethrin, use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and always do a tick check when you get home.

Take precautions to keep kids safe:
• Don't let young children to use sparklers 🚫
• Supervise older kids when they're using sparklers 👀
• Keep a bucket of water nearby to soak spent sparklers 🪣
