Why is My Yard Full of Ticks?

What causes ticks in a yard?

The answer is it depends.

Deer can bring ticks to your yard, as can small rodents.

Once they’re in your yard, ticks will find an ideal habitat to establish themselves. All species of ticks love darkness and moisture.

Their favorite hiding spots include areas that offer tall grass, moist dirt, and plenty of shade.

If your yard is mowed, ticks may still establish themselves in the outer areas, where they can find low-hanging shrubs or ground cover plants to use as shelter.
