What we recommend in the meantime

  • Find your species — the five U.S. ticks worth knowing are covered on the homepage with macro photos and scale bars. Species identification →
  • Build a kit — the Build My Tick Kit quiz works without a full state guide; it routes around cat-household toxicity, kid-age rules, and seasonality regardless. Start the quiz →
  • Browse published states — we publish state guides in order of tick burden + reader demand. See what's published →
  • National overview — the regional choropleth on the homepage gives you the same evidence we're using to prioritize. Open the national map →
