Ticks in the Home

Generally, ticks will be found in areas of heavy vegetation, and because these insects are so small, they can be hard to see until they’ve already latched to your skin. Although not as common, ticks will sometimes make their way into your home, usually to escape the elements.


If you want to keep ticks out of your home, there are a few things you can try. First, keeping your lawn short and sealing cracks in the exterior of your home can reduce your chances for an infestation. Second, you should remove items from around your house that can be a source for ticks, including rodent and bird nests.
