When do the ticks go away or do they? Are they just around during the hot weather or are they always around?

Spring is the worst although you can get them all summer. You don't really have to worry about them in fall and winter.

I'm not sure about the tick population in NC, but in MA, which has much more drastic weather changes for fall and winter, I've pulled a tick off my dog in January. It's rare, but it happens here. I would check yourself any time of the year.

In Virginia, ticks were worst in the spring. By July and August, the chigger were dreadful if you lived in the country. Do you have chiggers in NC?

Gee I thought this move was going to open so many new horizons for us. I just never assumed they would be of the bug/snake/spider horizons. Learning new things, thats what I am all about.

I just want you all to know that all these posts about bugs and snakes has given me nightmares...well one anyways. I had a dream that we were living in nc and our house was covered in huge snakes. We were upstairs and had to get down and out of the house...at one point I trapped a snake in a box or something and I was holding a THIN piece of cardboard over the top as the snake was hitting it from the other side and I kept thinking that it was going to bite me right through the cardboard.

Oh joys! lol

chiggers are NASTY NASTY NASTY little buggers! I've never had them but DH has. They like to live in pine needles and particularly hay. I've heard stories from people about their kds getting them from hayrides and from visiting farms and sitting on haystacks.
If I EVER get them, I think I'll have to be put in a medically induced coma or something!!!
