This small pest is about the size of a poppy seed. Deer ticks prefer to hide in shady, moist areas, but can also be found clinging to tall grass, shrubs and tree branches. They also inhabit lawns and gardens, especially at the edges of woodlands and around old stone walls where deer and white-footed mice thrive. Deer ticks cannot jump or fly.
