Flea and Tick Control in Delta
Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area, Burns Bog, and Delta ALR deer

Yes. Boundary Bay WMA is one of BC's most significant wildlife areas — significant deer populations, coyotes, and wildlife that sustain tick populations in the grass and vegetation along the dyke trail system. The Boundary Bay dyke walk is one of the higher tick exposure trails in Metro Vancouver.

Yes. Deer movement through Tsawwassen residential adjacent to Boundary Bay WMA means year-round tick transfer risk in residential yard vegetation.

Yes — Burns Bog's wildlife host movement including deer and coyotes sustains tick populations in the bog's forest margins.

Yes. Delta's massive ALR deer population creates year-round tick transfer risk on agricultural and ALR-adjacent properties throughout the municipality.

Yes. Delta's coastal climate keeps indoor conditions flea-favorable year-round.

Boundary Bay WMA (Ramsar site) sustains one of the largest migratory and resident wildlife populations in the Lower Mainland — combined with Delta's massive ALR deer population, this creates tick exposure that exceeds most Metro Vancouver cities.
