Are you saying that if it’s below freezing for 2 consecutive weeks the ticks die? Is that true?

Unfortunately I was wrong with my assumption. However, temperature fluctuation can kill ticks so bring on the 50 degree days afterwards followed by another arctic blast.

That cold snap we had last February seemed to do a number on the ticks this past year
