Tick eggs are tiny, often reddish-brown, and appear in clusters in sheltered outdoor areas; a female tick can lay thousands of eggs.
Ticks can spread dangerous diseases to people and pets, so spotting and addressing a possible infestation early is important.
If you find a suspected egg cluster, avoid touching it with bare hands and contact a pest-control professional for safe identification and removal.
Prevent ticks by keeping grass trimmed, using appropriate repellents, checking pets and family members after outdoor activities, and maintaining vet-approved tick protection for pets.
