What exactly are ticks? The definition of a tick is as follows: A tick is defined as any of two families of small parasitic arachnids with barbed proboscis which feed on blood of warm-blooded animals. Ticks are any one of numerous species of large parasitic mites which attach themselves to, and suck the blood of, cattle, dogs, and many other animals. When filled with blood they become ovate, much swollen, and usually livid red in colour. Some of the species often attach themselves to the human body. There are approximately 850 species of ticks across the world. Scientists have classified ticks into two families based upon their structure: Ixodidae and Argasidae.

Ticks have a 4 stage life cycle - the egg, the larvae (seed tick), the nymph and the adult. The life cycle starts when the egg hatches into a six-legged larva, or seed tick. Following a blood meal, the larva sheds its skin and the next stage of the life cycle is entered when the larva becomes an eight-legged nymph. Following another blood meal, the nymph sheds its skin and becomes an adult. Adult female ticks then attach themselves to a warm-blooded animal, engorges on the blood of the animal or pet, mates, leaves the host, deposits several thousand eggs and dies. Adult ticks can live for over 1 year without feeding. Flea Control and Tick Control - Pest Control - The Tick
