Why are the ticks so bad this year?
If the dog touches grass longer than 2", he gets a tick on him. We had a super cold winter, but they are worse this year than ever before here.

Cold winter is not the issue. "Still, climatic conditions can make some years worse for ticks than others. Ticks thrive in humidity, so a wet year can boost populations and increase the number of places they can live in. And warm winters and lingering summer heat add weeks of activity for the animals that ticks use as hosts, making them more likely to spread into the areas where humans live." https://www.pests.org/2019-tick-forecast/
