Ticks in Flagstaff, AZ

If you live in Flagstaff or the suburbs of City Center, Kachina Village, or Munds Park, you may have encountered ticks. Though all creatures on Earth are supposed to have a purpose, some seem to be here so they can be pictured in the dictionary beside the word “pest.” 

Generally speaking, ticks are blood-sucking parasites that carry and transmit a large number of diseases. When you have dogs that spend time inside, you are more likely to run into these tiny pests. Otherwise, if you are an active person who loves the outdoors, you may find that you have picked up a tick while enjoying some time hiking, camping, or working in your yard. Learning about the behavioral traits of ticks is an excellent way to know how to handle them.
