Brown Dog Tick
Brown dog tick adults are about 1/8 in (3 mm) long, but when
engorged with blood they are up to 1/2 in (12 mm) long. The body is
flattened
Habitat modification is considered to be the most permanent approach to tick management. Keep grass well-clipped, removing brush, and pruning trees to allow more sunlight to penetrate to the soil surface will discourage ticks from becoming established in these areas. Second, limit access of dogs and children to "tick" habitats. Dog control is important to reduce tick infestations. Dogs should be de-ticked daily by an adult. If necessary, get your pet treated. A number of products are available, and should be used under the direction of a veterinarian.
The area around the pet bed can be carefully and thoroughly treated with a number of insecticides such as Suspend, Tempo, Bedlam, or Precor 2000. Other areas needing particular attention include baseboards, doorway and window casings, and the edges of carpets.
For additional control on the exterior, use a granular product such as
Talstar.
