The female dog tick lays 4000-6500 eggs and then dies. The eggs hatch into seed ticks in about 36-57 days. The unfed larvae crawl in search of a host and can live up to 540 days without food. When they find a small rodent or mammal, the larvae attach and feed for approximately 5 days.The larvae then drop off the host and molt into nymphs.he eggs hatch into seed ticks in about 36-57 days.
