ALERT:  This spring and summer ticks are expected to be bad ...

Due to Michigan's unseasonably warm and wet winter coupled with an early spring, experts from the National Pest Management Association said Michigan is predicted to see an influx of ticks.  The following tips will help you avoid ticks:

• Don't stray from the trail
• Be extra vigilant in warmer months
• Do a "tick check" after every outdoor outing
• Shower within two hours after coming inside
• Use insect repellent
