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 arachnids that are significantly smaller than the ticks you may commonly associate with pets. While adult ticks are about the size of a sesame seed, nymphal deer ticks—responsible for most bites—are no bigger than a poppy seed, making them difficult to spot. They are commonly found in wooded areas, brushy fields, tall grass, and under layers of fallen leaves. Deer ticks rely on blood from animals and humans at various stages of their life. Their preferred hosts include deer, mice, and birds. Unfortunately, their adaptability to many host animals and habitats is a major factor in their success.
Wood ticks, also referred to as American dog ticks, are small parasitic arachnids commonly found in wooded areas, tall grasses, and shrubs. Measuring only a few millimeters in diameter (although they swell significantly when engorged with blood), these pests feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles. Wood ticks are identifiable by their reddish-brown bodies and ornate white markings on their backs. Unlike deer ticks, which are known for transmitting Lyme disease, wood ticks are most commonly associated with Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Fortunately, cases of bacterial infections caused by wood ticks are relatively rare in Wisconsin, but it’s still crucial to be cautious.

Wood ticks, or American dog ticks, are larger than deer ticks and easier to detect. They have a lighter brown color with whitish-gray markings on their backs. Their shape is also oval and flattened, though they appear less shiny compared to deer ticks. Wood ticks are commonly associated with diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever but are not primary carriers of Lyme disease.
