How long do ticks live? And tell us how they spend the winter.

Ticks have a lifespan of up to 25 years. But on average, this is a period of 10 years (especially in the absence of favorable conditions for life – without the possibility of normal nutrition). For wintering, insects go to the forest litter of fallen leaves and dry grass. A good balance of heat and humidity is established there. That is why there are practically no mites in coniferous forests, unlike deciduous ones.
