It’s never a good sign when an entomologist says a new species of invasive tick “will be difficult to impossible to eradicate.” The Asian longhorned tick had infiltrated American borders for years before anyone realized it, and will probably continue to spread until it’s just as pervasive as every other disease-bearing vector in this country.

We reported on this problem back in November, when the Centers for Disease Control informed the public that the first invasive tick in 80 years had entered the country undetected at some unknown point. According to the CDC, it's now definitely present in eight states. Given all this, entomologist Ilia Rochlin decided that “it would be prudent to assess this species’ potential habitat”—and that’s putting it mildly.
