Yes, all the snow insulated them last winter and they are thriving!

I thought warmer makes them thrive?

Either way, Lisa. But I read several articles about this past winter that said the snow insulated the ticks. I totally agree because I've heard that this summer has been one of the worst in years.
More to come.
PS... I think a very cold DRY winter would help kill them out.

Canada has had to put down some elk due to too many tick last winter. They were too weak to forage! They showed pictures of brush covered with ticks sticking up out of the snow.
I would expect Texas to be a really bad place for ticks but nothing like that!
