    As mentioned a couple of good frosts should do it.

    However, have had overnight frost in NE & they are still around

    I hike w/ the dog in winter & sometimes one of us will pick up a tick even if there is snow on the ground.

    Thinking they hang out in fallen leaves which keeps them from freezing. unless its been hard cold for a while.

    Best regards
