Fleas can cause considerable irritation to pets and subsequently to people when fleas begin breeding in carpets and rugs where pets rest or sleep. Ticks (1/16 - 1/4 long) are dark brown or reddish brown, leathery-bodied eight legged parasites that feed on blood sucked from animals, birds, and humans. Ticks can live for months in a dormant state without food. Many serious diseases are transmitted through ticks, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, tick typhus, and relapsing fever. Ticks also may cause secondary infections, tick paralysis and other disorders. Fleas and ticks can infest any home.
In one experiment, most of the nymphal deer ticks exposed to 75% humidity for 8 hours died, even after being returned to 96% humidity. In a typical house environment, unfed deer ticks are not likely to survive even 24 hours. Ticks on moist clothing in a hamper can survive 2-3 days. Ticks that have taken a blood meal may survive a bit longer but certainly not the 30+ days it takes to mature and bite again or lay eggs.
