Don’t forget, both the American Dog Tick and Deer Tick have two-year life cycles. One adult female Deer Tick can lay up to 3,000 eggs, while one female American Dog Tick will lay over 4,000 eggs. To stop the cycle, apply National Organic Program compliant property sprays routinely to your yard during tick seasons to eliminate ticks in all life stages including their eggs.
