Brown Dog Ticks Most Common Tick Infesting Port St Lucie Florida Homes and Lawns

Nearly every type of tick infestation in Florida is a Brown Dog Tick infestation. Brown Dog Ticks (BDT) are not technically insects but are closely similar to mites and spiders. These pests must have blood meals in order for survival. The brown dog tick species is a “obligate three-host tick” which means all three stages of the tick including the larva, nymph, and adult requires a blood meal in order to progress into the next developmental stage.

The name of this species of tick does not really stand for what it sounds, they do not only use dogs as a host. Humans and other animals are favorable hosts to the Brown Dog ticks as well. The tick is easily identified for the white coloring on its body. The brown dog tick is the only tick that has white.

A single pregnant female brown dog tick is about the size of a raisin and can literally be responsible for an additional 5,000 more ticks just from one oviposit. Reynolds Pest Management, Inc. highly recommends immediate treatment to eradicate ticks from inside a home or office to keep the numbers of the pests to a minimal.
