The black legged (or deer) tick is fairly common. These are the type that cause Lyme disease. The American dog tick is also relatively common. It can cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

They can't transmit diseases to humans, but they can transmit diseases to dogs . http://www.slugabug.comTicks 101: Mating: In most cases, mating has to occur on the host because the male tick requires a little snack before he mates. This, however, is not the case with deer ticks. Eating: Ticks eat only the blood of warm blooded animals and humans. Females are much slower than males, eating on one host for a number of days. Once engorged, they lay their eggs then die. Hungry ticks can live for up to two years, in some cases, without eating. Habitats: Most types of ticks hide in grassy or wooded areas. Brown dog ticks, however, are indoor creatures, hiding in furniture, behind baseboards, and even under the edges of rugs.
