Ticks that may transmit Lyme disease (Ixodes scapularis) generally known as the blacklegged or deer tick are found in wooded areas, high grasses, marshes, gardens, and beach areas. Because people are becoming more and more linked to outdoor recreational and sporting activities they can be more often led into tick habitats. Also dogs that spend lots of time outdoors, especially within the woods, bush, or areas of tall grass are running an increased risk to become infected with Lyme disease. Furthermore, infected ticks can be carried into backyards on other wildlife for example squirrels, hedgehogs and birds and via this route dogs and people may become infected in their own yard. Much more as a result, because an increasing number of residential construction projects are invading into rural surroundings as well as more and many more green areas for example town parks and public gardens are developed inside metropolitan areas. Climate change has resulted in milder winters so that ticks have more opportunity to feed and breed. Another result of climatic change has been a lengthy growing season for vegetation which in turn has increased the number of some of the tick's host species, meaning more available hosts for the ticks. Indeed, recently published scientific research has predicted tick expansion to new, previously tick-free areas due to expected climate change. Preventing Lyme disease by tick control People can reduce their risk of Lyme disease by avoiding tick-infested habitats. If exposure to tick-infested surroundings cannot be avoided, individuals may reduce their risk of infection by using repellents, wearing protective clothing, and regularly checking for and removing attached ticks.
