Where are Ticks Commonly Found?
The deer tick is generally found in areas where deer, mice and other animals roam, such as wooded areas. In addition, longer grass or brush, low bushes and shrubs, and moist leaf litter are common habitats. Ticks crawl very slowly, and can travel distances only by attaching to a person, animal, or bird. This is how a tick can move out of the woods and into gardens and backyards.
