Almost summer...I really doubt it. I think they will thrive until it's too cold out. Take the walk, just look yourself over later.

If you have to go into the woods, or somewhere w/ lots of weeds, wear long pants and long sleeves, and socks. I think tick season is over by september, but still be cautious.

Tick 'season' typically last from the day after the first frost until the first frost.
Ticks start in early spring until late fall.
Just be sure to check yourself often.

You can live in tick prone areas and still manage to be safe. Here's a site with some helpful hints:
