Ticks are small, blood-sucking parasites that can be found in wooded areas, tall grass, and shrubs. They attach themselves to their host, usually a person or an animal, and feed on their blood. Ticks are not only a nuisance but also carry various diseases that can be dangerous for humans and pets.
Ticks are especially prevalent in New Jersey, where the warm, humid climate provides an ideal environment for them to thrive. As a result, it is important for families to take measures to protect themselves and their pets from ticks.
