What time of the day ticks are not active?

I live in WV & and I've gotta go up in the mountains but the ticks are really bad. I heard somewhere that at a certain time of the day, eg. afternoon, late night, early morning, dawn, dusk, whatever.. the ticks wont bother you, if this is true then what time of the day are they totally not active or atleast less active, cuz if I go on a hike at noon, I'll come out of the mountains sure to have atleast 3 ticks on me
