Already found several on the dog, and many on the cat that goes outside. Anyone know when fleas start? I want to be prepared.

It was never cold enough last winter to make them dormant and they've been rampant all throughout it. I normally don't start my animals on FrontLine until mid to late March, but I've had to put it on them year 'round this year.
Thats what I did about 2 weeks ago, just to be on the safe side. BF brought on in the house this evening.
My cat did that about a week or so ago and I found one crawling up my leg. I guess it didn't like his treated self and found me to be a better potential host.

Ticks have been out all winter. Found some ( I mean they found me) when clearing trails in Janurary, they were the big ones, not the little deer ticks that give you Lyme. When the little ones come out I don't walk in the woods until they are frozen.

Are they really common here? I'm going to have to change my name from Ladybug to Tickgirl. I found one on me (attached) the other day and had a little freak out. I have been camping, hiking, fishing, etc. my whole life and have never had that happen. Am I just going to have to get used to it here? I checked the dogs and they are fine, although they don't spend much time outside anymore.
