Tick Identification Services

CCE Ulster does not provide deer tick identification services at the office for Lyme disease. Ticks can be submitted to the Insect Diagnostic Lab at Cornell University for identification. A $25 identification fee applies per sample. 

Visit  the Be Tick Free in Ulster County webpage for resources and information on ticks and on protecting yourself and your family from them. View this article on tick ID, removal and avoidance by Susan Dollard with the CCE Sullivan Master Gardener Program.

Tick ID: The Ulster County Dept. of Health in Kingston offers a Free Tick ID Service (for more information click here). This does not test ticks for any disease agents such as lyme. Check with your physician for the names of laboratories performing tick-testing services.
