Tick control and preventions are more crucial than ever to limit your family and pets from the dangers of tick-borne diseases. Ticks are resilient pests that can survive in various environments, making your yard a prime target. Without proper control measures, these tiny but dangerous insects can spread rapidly, threatening your outdoor spaces and peace of mind.
Ticks thrive in many areas of your yard, including:
Ticks love dense, shaded areas where they can easily latch onto passing animals or people.
These spots provide perfect hiding places, allowing ticks to remain undetected while waiting for their next host.
Ticks cling to low-hanging branches and shrubbery, making it easy to latch onto you or your pets as you pass by.
Even in seemingly harmless piles of leaves, ticks can hide and survive for months, waiting for the right conditions to emerge.
Deer ticks are widespread across the Fox Valley and wooded areas around Appleton. Adult ticks are about the size of a sesame seed, with females sporting a reddish-brown body and black shield behind the head. These ticks hide in tall grass, shaded trails, and forest edges—especially near parks like High Cliff or the Gordon Bubolz Nature Preserve.
