Spring is Here - So Are the Biters. Are You Ready?

As temperatures rise, so does insect activity. Ticks are already out in force across the UK, particularly in grassy and woodland areas, while mosquitoes are becoming more active across Europe and beyond. With Easter getaways approaching, mosquito season isn’t far behind. Whether you’re exploring the UK or heading somewhere warmer, now is the time to prepare.

What’s Biting First?

🕷️ Ticks: Active Now in the UK

Ticks thrive in damp, grassy, and wooded areas and can transmit Lyme disease and other infections. They’re most active from March onwards, making early spring the best time to take precautions—especially if you’re hiking, dog-walking, or spending time in nature.

Avoid tick bites with this simple acronym: T.I.C.K. 

🦟 Mosquitoes: Planning a Trip? So Are They

April marks the start of peak mosquito season—just as many are heading off on Easter holidays. Mosquitoes are already emerging in parts of Southern Europe and tropical destinations, where warmer and wetter conditions create the perfect breeding grounds. If you’re traveling, repellent is a must-pack item.

With dengue cases surpassing 14 million worldwide, staying protected is more important than ever.
