Information About Ticks
Locale On Property
Favourite hiding spots include naturalized or un-mown areas with weeds and tall grasses, especially when
those spots are humid and shady. When lawns are nearby, ticks move into mowed areas, too. But more
than 80% stay in the lawn’s outer 9 feet.
Description
Ticks can be greyish-white, brown, black, reddish-brown or yellowish in colour.
Concerns
Some of the diseases passed on by ticks include relapsing fever, tularaemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
(RMSF), Q Fever and anaplasmosis. The most well-known is Lyme disease.
