Summary
Ticks are invertebrates closely related to spiders that feed on blood from animals, including humans, as a necessary part of their life cycle. Tick populations are increasing, and the home ranges of many tick species are expanding. Because of this, ticks are encountered more frequently, including in residential backyards.
