Tick Season - Tips for Hiking in Chilliwack

Tick season is here, but don't let that stop you and your furry friends from enjoying the trails! Here are some practical tips to stay tick-free:

1️⃣ Wear long sleeves and pants to reduce exposed skin. Light colours are best, as they allow you to see the ticks easily.
2️⃣ Use insect repellent made to deter ticks.
3️⃣ Check yourself, kids, and your pets for ticks after outdoor activities.
4️⃣ Keep a tick key/tool in your first aid kit for easy removal.
5️⃣ Stick to the center of trails to avoid brushing against vegetation where ticks may be.
6️⃣ Keep your dogs on leash, and off the tall grass/brush on the shoulders of the trail.
