Common Tick Species Found in Florida
Several tick species threaten people and animals in Florida. Knowing how to identify them is key to effective prevention and control.
Lone Star Ticks
Lone Star ticks are known for their distinctive white spot on the back of their female ticks. These ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, parks, and even in suburban yards. They can transmit diseases like ehrlichiosis, a bacterial infection that can cause flu-like symptoms.
American Dog Ticks
American Dog ticks are commonly found on dogs but can also latch onto humans. They are often located in grassy areas or along hiking trails. American Dog ticks are responsible for spreading Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a serious bacterial infection.
Blacklegged Ticks (Deer Ticks)
The blacklegged tick, also known as the deer tick, is the primary carrier of Lyme disease. These ticks prefer wooded, brushy areas and are often found in areas with deer populations. They can also transmit other diseases like anaplasmosis and babesiosis.
Brown Dog Ticks
Brown Dog ticks are unique because they are one of the few tick species that can complete their lifecycle indoors. They are often found in homes with pets, especially dogs. While they are less likely to spread Lyme disease, they can transmit other diseases, such as ehrlichiosis.
Tick Habitats in Florida
Ticks thrive in humid, wooded areas in Florida, but they are also found in grasslands, parks, and even residential yards. They tend to hide in tall grasses, brush, and under leaves, where they can wait for a host to pass by. Keeping your yard tidy and free of tall vegetation is an effective strategy to reduce tick populations. Additionally, ticks are more likely to be found in areas where wildlife such as deer and rodents are common.

Signs of a Tick Infestation
Ticks are small, so spotting them on your property can be difficult. However, some signs may indicate an infestation. If ticks frequently bite you or your pets, or if you find ticks in your home or on your pets, it’s a clear sign that tick control is needed. Additionally, a rise in tick-related health issues, such as Lyme disease, can also be an indication of an ongoing infestation.

DIY Tick Prevention Tips

Tick Lifecycle and Behavior
Ticks have a four-stage lifecycle: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Each stage is dependent on a blood meal to grow and mature. Ticks typically spend most of their lives in the larval and nymph stages, feeding on smaller animals. During the adult stage, they become more noticeable to humans and larger animals. Understanding the tick lifecycle helps determine the best time to target them during your tick control treatment.
