Tick season isn’t just coming—it’s here. And this year, the pests are early, aggressive, and ready to ruin a perfectly good afternoon outdoors. From backyards and gardens to trails and tree lines, ticks and mosquitoes are already making their presence known. That means it’s time for Everguard™ Tick & Mosquito Repellent to take the spotlight—because nothing clears a yard (or a shelf) faster than customers looking to protect their pets, kids, and summer plans.

Tick Season by the Numbers

Here’s what we’re seeing on the ground (and in the grass):

Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the U.S. According to the CDC, nearly 476,000 Americans are diagnosed and treated for Lyme each year — and that number may be underestimated due to underreporting.

In 2023, Rhode Island ranked among the top 10 states for Lyme disease cases per capita, largely due to black-legged ticks (aka deer ticks) thriving in warm, wooded, humid environments.

It’s not just Lyme. Anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Powassan virus, and other tick-borne threats are climbing in case numbers, with babesiosis recently added to the list of nationally notifiable diseases.

Mosquitoes, meanwhile, are a double-threat. Active from April through October, they carry diseases like West Nile virus, Jamestown Canyon virus, and others. Long story short? Your customers aren’t imagining it—tick and mosquito seasons are starting earlier, lasting longer, and bringing more bite.
