Bug pressure varies by place and month
Ticks peak in spring and fall in many states; mosquitoes dominate warm wet months; fleas ride on pets year-round indoors. This quiz rough-sorts your biggest seasonal gap — not a forecast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a precise forecast for my zip code?

What repellent should I use?
EPA-registered products with DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus per label directions. Our tick repellents guide compares options.
