Still planning a few last rounds of golf this Fall? Did you know that adult stage deer ticks are most active from October into December in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States? Review these 6 images before your next game to Stay TickSafe :

A group of men on a golf course with the caption "Maybe you're still planning a few last rounds of golf this Fall. Did you know that in the northeastern and midwestern United States, October and November are the most active seasons for adult stage deer ticks?"

Are you ticksmart? Do you hit all of your balls right down the fairway? Or maybe you still hit the occasional hook or slice? Man on a golf course near the woods carrying his golf clubs

Man with golf clubs looking into the woods. Are you ticksmart? "there's my ball in the woods....I'll just grab it real quick and take a drop."...Do you think that's TickSmart?

Man on a golf course with the caption "Leave that hook or slice in the woods! There could be one or dozens of unseen ticks just waiting on the brush and leaves for you to walk by on the way to your ball."

Man on a golf course with the caption "If you occasionally find yourself needing to chase your ball beyond the rough, consider making your favorite golf clothes tick repellent golf clothes! Tick Encounter can show you how. Also, remember to do a tick check in the shower afterward your round!"

Woods on the perimeter of a golf course with the caption "The line between tick safe and tick risky habitat is usually abrupt on golf courses. Deer ticks are typically no out in the fairway, or even in the rough. But step into the woods, that's where ticks are waiting to latch onto you!"
