Why Flea and Tick Pressure Is a Particular Issue in Port Moody
Sasamat Lake's forested trail system in the hills above Port Moody and Rocky Point Park's shoreline trail network are Port Moody's primary flea and tick introduction zones. Sasamat Lake's forested trails have significant deer and wildlife host movement — black-legged tick populations in the vegetation margins along these trails are among the more active in the Tri-Cities area.
Rocky Point Park's shoreline and the adjacent Burrard Inlet trail corridors accumulate flea and tick populations from wildlife host movement — raccoons, coyotes, and deer moving along the shoreline sustain these populations year-round.
Older Pleasantside and College Park homes with original 1960s to 1980s carpet carry the harborage that makes flea infestations particularly persistent once established in these humid below-grade spaces.
