Ticks in December?

I have picked 3 ticks off my dog in the last 2 days. I thought ticks were only about in the warmer summer months, this really surprised me. We are in south Wiltshire and it has been a terrible year for the ticks around here.

Is anyone else still finding them?

Hi , I know the cold doesn’t kill them I mean at least they hide away and are dormant and not looking to feed

I get them all year round.

Frost doesn't kill them. They can survive below zero temperatures. 

They are less active in the cold but they are still there.
