Ticks are nasty and pretty tough. If adult deer ticks (Blacklegged tick) don't get a yummy blood meal during the fall they don't die, they go dormant. The frost won't kill them and if it goes above freezing they can become active. Even in winter, during a thaw, they can do their dirty deed!
Mother Nature is a mad scientist !!!
