A tick infestation occurs when you or a pet brings several ticks from outside into your home. If you live near wooded and brushy areas, you have a greater chance of bringing a tick home, especially during the warm weather.
Ticks wait outside in trees and bushes and drop down onto a person or animal, bury their head into their skin, and feed off their blood. A tick may catch a ride on your clothing and make its way into your home. An infestation begins when a rick reproduces there. They may lay their eggs near baseboards, windows, doors, furniture, and edges of rugs and curtains.
If you notice that you, your family members, and your pets are attracting a significant number of ticks on your skin, you might have a tick infestation.
