Wellington Dufferin Guelph Public Health is asking Dufferin County residents to take part in tick monitoring by allowing tick dragging on their private property.
Participation involves a one-time visit where trained staff:
-
Walk the property
-
Pull a small white cloth along the ground to collect ticks (called “tick dragging”)
-
Spend less than three hours on-site
-
Do not disturb the land
Anyone with property that has large wooded areas, brush, or leaf litter and is open to tick dragging on their property can contact public health. Contact information can be found on our website.
