CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – We had some dry weather on Friday, but we’ve had quite a bit of rain recently, especially on the weekends. Too much rain can lead to disease, and when it gets hot and humid, things can get even worse. It’s now summer, and with all the rain we’ve had, everything is looking nice and green, but the wet conditions we had this spring have also made for perfect lawn disease conditions.

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – The weather is getting warmer and the bugs are really coming out. Over the years, the tick population has increased dramatically and it’s important to protect yourself from them. As the weather gets warmer, more and more of us are spending time outside. Ticks tend to be very active this time of year, and they can carry dangerous and even deadly diseases like Lyme, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Powassan. So it’s important to avoid areas where they could be.
