American Dog Ticks

Black Legged Deer Ticks

Brown Dog Ticks

Although ticks are commonly thought of as insects, they are actually arachnids like scorpions, spiders and mites. All members of this group have four pairs of legs as adults and have no antennae. Adult insects have three pairs of legs and one pair of antennae. Ticks are among the most efficient carriers of disease because they attach firmly when sucking blood, feed slowly and may go unnoticed for a considerable time while feeding.

Ticks are the most common pest of domesticated dogs. These parasitic insects take blood from mammals, birds and reptiles to survive. Ticks are prolific laying between 1,000-3,000 eggs per breeding cycle, depositing them in cracks and crevices in and around the home. Larvae or "seed ticks" appear every 19-60 days and immediately search for food. The prefer warm dry environments and are commonly found in dry environments near their host, especially on bedding. Eggs found can be found around baseboards, window sills, door casings, curtains, furniture, where rugs meet baseboards, in cracks of kennel ceiling, and high on building walls and ceilings.
