People are confused why ticks show up even in clean, suburban lawns. They want to understand wildlife pathways, brush, and shaded areas.

Connecticut has one of the highest tick populations in the U.S. due to forests, wetlands, and deer/mouse habitats. Fairfield County towns such as Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, and Westport provide ideal conditions—shade, moisture, and wildlife corridors—allowing ticks to thrive year-round.

Ticks hide in leaf litter, tall grass, shaded beds, stone walls, and perimeter brush. They don’t jump or fly—they use a behavior called questing, waiting at ground level to latch onto people or pets passing by. This is common across Fairfield County properties.

The black-legged tick (deer tick) is responsible for nearly all Lyme disease cases in CT. Infection rates in Fairfield County regularly exceed 30–50%, making towns like Greenwich, Darien, and Wilton high-risk areas for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

Deer ticks are small and dark; dog ticks are larger with distinct markings; lone star ticks have a white spot on the female’s back. Deer ticks are the primary spreaders of Lyme disease in CT. Lone star ticks are increasing in Stamford, Norwalk, and coastal areas.

Nymph ticks peak April–August in Fairfield County, posing the greatest Lyme risk. Adult ticks peak in fall and remain active during warm winter days in Greenwich, Weston, and Ridgefield. Ticks are active anytime temperatures exceed 40°F.

Nymph ticks are tiny (poppy-seed sized) and often go unnoticed, allowing them to stay attached longer. In CT, nymph ticks are responsible for most human Lyme infections because they are so hard to detect.

Only about 30% of Lyme infections produce the classic bullseye rash. Many bites look like a small red bump. In Greenwich Hospital and Stamford Hospital urgent care reports, many Lyme cases show no rash at all, which is why prevention is critical.

Yes. Nymph ticks are so small that most people never see them. Many Fairfield County residents diagnosed with Lyme disease report no known tick bite, especially in wooded neighborhoods like Back Country, North Stamford, and Wilton.

Lyme transmission typically requires 24–36 hours, but other diseases like Anaplasmosis and Powassan virus can transmit much faster. Because ticks are so small, attachment often goes unnoticed beyond this window.

Yards with shade, moisture, leaf litter, deer traffic, stone walls, bird activity, and dense shrubs attract more ticks. Homes near woods or conservation land in Greenwich, Darien, Westport, and New Canaan have the highest exposure.

Yes. Ticks overwinter under leaf litter and become active anytime temperatures rise above 40°F. Many homeowners in Fairfield County find ticks outdoors even in January and February.

Use fine-tipped tweezers, grasp the tick close to the skin, and pull straight up. Do not twist or apply heat/oils. After removal, clean the area and monitor for symptoms. Veterinarians across Greenwich, Stamford, and Norwalk recommend professional yard control to prevent repeated exposure.

Medications kill ticks after they bite, but they don’t stop ticks from getting onto pets. In high-pressure areas like Wilton, Weston, and New Canaan, professional tick control significantly reduces the number of ticks pets bring indoors.

Yes. Even manicured lawns in Greenwich, Darien, and Westport can harbor ticks—especially in shaded pockets, foundations, hedges, and stone walls. Lawn maintenance helps, but it does not eliminate ticks.

The most effective prevention combines: professional tick control, pet preventatives, regular tick checks, trimming vegetation, removing leaf litter, and reducing moisture. Fairfield County homeowners see the greatest protection from monthly tick treatments during peak season.
