Many people believe that ticks are insects, but they are actually parasitic arachnids. They have a head and one large segment of their body with eight legs. They attach to the host, and they feed solely on the blood of the host to which they attach. They are found all over the world, and there are hundreds of different species of ticks. They have 4 different life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Ticks are able to bite once they reach the larval stage.

Get A QuoteTicks are found in all four corners of the globe as long as the area has the right conditions that they need. These particular conditions include having the right hosts and the right climate. They can flourish in warm, humid climates because they need to have a certain amount of humidity in order to go through their metamorphosis stages.
The habitats that they live in also need to have the right types of hosts for them to attach to. Different species of ticks will attach to different types of animals, including marsupials, mammals, birds, and reptiles. It all depends on the geographical area in which they live and the type of host the particular species prefers. Differently sized ticks will attach to differently sized animals. For example, ticks that are smaller or in earlier life stages will attach to smaller animals, like squirrels and rabbits, and attach to larger animals as they grow in size.
Ticks attach to hosts to feed on their blood and will drop off once fully engorged. They often end up in yards after detaching from animals and can travel short distances to find new hosts, hiding in vegetation around your home. The most serious risk from ticks is the diseases they carry. They can transmit a variety of illnesses, with Lyme disease being the most dangerous, potentially causing lifelong complications.
