You’ve been enjoying a walk in the forest or spending time in your garden… and surprise: a tiny little creature has settled on your dog’s skin, or worse, yours! Ticks are true specialists in discreet infiltration. However, their bites can have consequences far less harmless than a simple spot. So, how can you spot them in time and, above all, keep them away from your home? Follow the guide.

Ticks love damp, dark, and unkempt places. If you thought you were safe because you live in the city… think again: they can thrive there too! Here are their favorite haunts:
The tall, unmown grass
The gardens are left a little neglected, especially with piles of wood or dead leaves
Wooded parks, forests, or even roadsides
