Why Flea and Tick Pressure Is a Particular Issue in Langley
Langley has among the highest black-legged tick exposure of any Metro Vancouver municipality. The combination of the largest deer population in Metro Vancouver (sustained by the ALR agricultural landscape), extensive horse farm trail networks throughout the municipality, and major regional parks (Derby Reach, Aldergrove, Redwood Park) creates tick exposure year-round across virtually every part of Langley.
Horse properties throughout the ALR are a specific flea and tick exposure environment unique to Langley — horses host ticks and fleas that transfer to dogs and then into homes. Pet owners on horse properties or near ALR horse farms see consistently higher tick and flea introduction rates than urban Metro Vancouver pet owners.
Derby Reach Regional Park's Fraser River trail system and the Aldergrove Regional Park/Campbell Valley network provide additional high-traffic trail tick exposure zones.
