| | Tick Biology |
 | | The outside surface, or cuticle, of soft ticks expands, but does not grow to accommodate the large volume of blood ingested, which may be anywhere from 5-10 times their unfed body weight (Sonenshine 1991). | | | Certain biochemicals such as carbon dioxide as well as heat and movement serve as stimuli for questing behavior. | | | Certain biochemicals such as carbon dioxide as well as heat and movement serve as stimuli for host seeking behavior. |

| | Hard Ticks: Species of ticks that are considered hard ticks. |
| | Ticks feeding on a dog drop off and molt before they will resume host-seeking behavior and attach to another dog. | | | Couple this behavior with the climbing behavior of newly hatched larvae or other stages which have not obtained a blood meal recently, and one can understand why nearly all cracks and crevices in an infested premise must be carefully treated in order to obtain good tick control. | | | The red-brown color is distinctive and no other tick normally encountered will be uniformly red-brown. |
