Tick Activity Peaks Between April and June in Russia
The peak period for tick activity in Russia lasts from April to June, but the risk of being bitten in nature remains high until the end of summer. Experts have listed high-risk areas and prevention methods.
The period when tick activity traditionally peaks in Russia extends from April to June. However, experts note that the period requiring caution in nature continues until September.
Lyudmila Strahova, Deputy Head of the Personal Insurance Claims Settlement Department at the insurance company "Soglasie," listed the places with a high probability of encountering ticks during this period. Dense grassy and shrubby forests, unkempt roadsides, slopes, or ditches are among the high-risk areas.
Cemeteries with dense vegetation, summer cottages on the forest edge, and neglected plots of land also harbor tick dangers.
To reduce the risk, regular mowing of grass, combating weeds, and preventing the land from being cluttered with old boards, branches, leaves, and garbage are recommended. Experts also advise treating the plot and surrounding area with insectoacaricide chemicals.
Who is at risk?
Those most exposed to tick bites are summer cottage residents, gardeners, foresters, hunters, tourists, and anyone working outdoors. According to company data, individuals aged 40-50 and over 60 constitute 63% of those seeking specialist treatment and examination.
It was recorded that women accounted for 73% of clinic visits for tick cases. Company officials suggested this could be explained by women's greater propensity for active outdoor activities and spending time in nature.
High-risk regions
The insurer listed regions in a special risk group for tick activity as Udmurtia, Krasnoyarsk Territory, and the Kostroma and Kirov oblasts. According to the company's 2026 data, 76% of claims come from these regions.
