    Ticks: What you need to know

    Identifying Characteristics

    • Ticks can vary in size from ⅛ – ½ inches in length
    • The Brown Dog Tick is the most common tick one will find (mainly by dog owners); they are red-brown and gray, but other types can vary widely in color
    • They feed on warm blooded creatures and will irritate skin, causing itching

    Active Season

    • Ticks are most active during the Spring and Summer

    Interesting Facts

    • Ticks cannot move fast, jump or fly but instead they will wait for a host by hanging on a leaf or grass blade hoping to latch on when a potential host walks by
    • They generally do not lay eggs on their host, but instead drop to the ground to lay eggs in a protected area

    Cause for Concern

    • Along with causing skin irritation, Ticks can transmit diseases, such as lyme disease, which can prove to be lethal to humans and pets
