Tick eggs can pose serious health risks, as they may hatch into larvae that spread diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. These tiny, transparent or yellowish eggs are typically laid in clusters on plants or debris.

To handle tick eggs safely, consult a professional pest control service. For single ticks on your skin, use fine-tipped tweezers to remove them carefully.

Prevent ticks in your yard by removing plants that attract deer, introducing tick-repelling plants, mowing regularly, and storing firewood away from your house. You can also use natural repellents like diatomaceous earth, essential oils, or tick tubes, and apply insecticides cautiously when needed.
