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.
Ticks are small, blood-feeding parasites commonly found throughout Oklahoma City and the surrounding suburban green spaces. They pose a health risk to both people and pets by potentially spreading diseases through their bites.
When ticks latch onto a host—whether it’s a person, a dog, or a wild animal—they use specialized mouthparts to pierce the skin. During feeding, they release saliva that may contain harmful pathogens, increasing the likelihood of disease transmission.
If you spend time outdoors in Oklahoma City—especially near wooded trails, overgrown lots, or local parks—it’s important to stay vigilant. Be sure to thoroughly check yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks after outdoor activities, especially during the warmer months from spring through early fall.
Deer ticks, also known as black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), are present throughout parts of Oklahoma, especially in shaded and brushy environments. Adult deer ticks are tiny—roughly the size of a sesame seed—with females displaying a reddish-brown body and a dark scutum near the head. Nymphs and larvae are even smaller and just as capable of spreading disease. These ticks prefer wooded creeks, overgrown lots, and park perimeters, where they can attach to people or pets passing by.
Deer ticks are the primary carriers of **Lyme disease**, but they can also transmit other illnesses such as **anaplasmosis**, **babesiosis**, **ehrlichiosis**, and **Powassan virus**.
The American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), commonly referred to as the wood tick, is also found across Oklahoma. These ticks are larger than deer ticks, with reddish-brown bodies and distinct white or silver markings. Females become noticeably swollen after feeding and can grow to the size of a small pea. Wood ticks prefer sunny, grassy areas such as parks, trails, and yards where pets or people frequently pass through.
Unlike deer ticks, wood ticks do **not spread Lyme disease**, but they can transmit **Rocky Mountain spotted fever** and **tularemia**. Their bites may also cause irritation or localized infection. Prevent exposure by keeping lawns trimmed, using tick treatments on pets, and checking thoroughly after outdoor activities.
The Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum) is increasingly common in Oklahoma City and other parts of Oklahoma. Females are easily identified by the signature white dot on their backs, while males have pale markings along their edges. These medium-sized ticks are slightly larger than deer ticks but smaller than wood ticks. They are aggressive and frequently found in wooded areas with dense underbrush, such as nature preserves, creekbeds, and overgrown lots.
Lone Star ticks can transmit **ehrlichiosis**, **tularemia**, and a condition known as **Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI)**. They are also linked to **alpha-gal syndrome**, a red meat allergy that can result from their bites.

At Mosquito Shield of Oklahoma City, we understand just how important it is to protect every member of your family from dangerous pests—including your furry, four-legged companions. Ticks are more than a nuisance; they can transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and other tick-borne illnesses that affect both people and pets.
If you find a tick on your dog, it’s essential to remove it carefully to reduce the risk of infection. Using a pair of fine-tipped tweezers, grip the tick as close to your dog’s skin as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Avoid twisting or jerking the tick, as this can cause mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin.
After removal, clean the area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Dispose of the tick by sealing it in a bag or flushing it down the toilet. Keep an eye on your pet for any signs of illness—such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or fever—and contact your veterinarian if anything seems off.
Taking quick, safe action and being vigilant can go a long way in keeping your dog healthy and tick-free in the Oklahoma City area.
