Long Island has got to be the worst place on the planet for ticks. I think every blade of grass must have several ticks on it since one gets bombarded by them on even a short walk through any sort of vegetation!
I think your right. my parent's dogs and cat get them all the time. they have woods behind their house. my buddy's german shorthair always gets them when we used to bird hunt out east.
Now we hunt in Chenango county and have not had ONE tick on the dog. I've never even seen one in chenango.
