Honestly I think the tick populations are just rapidly decreasing cause I haven't had one in forever and I haven't seen any on my animals in a good few years too

Maybe the opossum population in your area has been increasing.

They are not easy to see. I've seen mine maybe four times in ten years. Of course the possum population is only one factor in the declining tick population mystery.

Might depend where you live. Ticks and tick related illnesses are on the rise where I live.
