Ticks in Corcoran, MN

Deer-tick nymphs are tapering as lone-star seed ticks swarm where that tick is established. Late-summer risk stays meaningful in brushy, wooded areas. Where the lone star tick lives (coastal and southern areas), aggressive larval 'seed tick' swarms peak now.

Corcoran is 51% natural land cover (23% forest, plus open and brushy areas) across its 35.8 sq mi, home to about 7,719 people. That makes it the 41st-most wooded of the 42 towns in Hennepin County. Deer ticks live in wooded areas, along trail edges, and in tall grass: the more of that a town has, the more places ticks can quest.

Hennepin County reports about 29 Lyme cases per 100,000 people a year, in the top 14% of U.S. counties for reported Lyme disease. That county-level disease pressure, combined with Corcoran's local habitat, sets how high its daily score can climb when the weather and season allow.

How much does tick control cost in Corcoran?
