Maple Tree â Tick Prevention. Q: When I sit under a maple tree in my backyard in summer, I get ticks in my hair. How can I prevent ticks on the tree? A: According to tick expert Dr. Nancy Hinkle, ticks do not fall from trees, because theyâre not in trees in the first place. Ticks hang around at ground level because they depend on high humidity. They move up on grass blades, about ankle level, never more than knee high, to wait for mammal hosts.
