Ticks are in the arachnid family of spiders. They are mostly found in pine trees.
They can jump, but usually just wait for a host for them to fall on. A dog in a yard is a perfect host, as is any wooded area, because they may already be on the ground. Depending on the tick, a squirrel or a bird can have them in
addition to a deer, so just about any repellent is necessary. My advice...get outside and enjoy! We've survived Covid... Ticks can't overtake us!!
