Ticks Extermination

There are several species that vary in appearance, but all of the adults are small and round with eight legs. They have four stages in their life: egg, larva, nymph and adult. When they are at the larvae stage they are called "seed ticks" with six legs. They attach themselves to a host, and after receiving a blood meal, they drop to the ground and emerge as eight legged nymphs. Ticks can carry serious diseases. One of the more common ticks is the Brown Dog Tick. They commonly attach to the animal's body. After feeding, they drop to the ground in search of protective areas.
