About this Event

Ticks survive year-round in Florida, but they are especially active in the warmer, moister weather that May heralds. Sumter County Extension Director Jim Davis -- a Florida native with a master's degree in entomology -- will discuss our native ticks and the diseases they carry. Learn how to protect yourself from these tiny insects and what steps to take to make your landscape less inviting to them.
