As we sat watching the cold sunset fade softly over the bluffs at Roznos Meadow…

Ticks? – Yes. We pulled a tick off of our pup here in Baraboo yesterday!
Ticks are typically most active in Wisconsin from May to November. However, adult deer ticks can remain active all year, emerging on warm winter days. So it’s no surprise that we’ll start seeing ticks on our pets, on our clothing, and yep, even on us during this current warm spell.
If you’re hiking the trails right now, it’s a smart idea to do a tick check when you get home.
Bug spray in February anyone?

For nearly 30 years, the Skillet Creek blog has focused on 3 main goals; To inspire you to visit and explore the Devil’s Lake region, to help you get the most out of your visit by sharing tips, events, and other helpful information. Lastly, to advocate for our environment & wildlife and talk about how we can keep our natural areas amazing now and into the future! That last goal can sometimes cause controversy, but it’s the only way we can accomplish the first two. – Derrick Mayoleth, Owner.
