Ticks are found in grass, in lawns, on any grass any where because they drop off of deer, rabbits, mice, cats....whatever crosses that grassy area.

One does not need to go into the woods to get ticks.

That’s no guarantee either. They have been found in people’s suburban lawns.

Besides, it’s not just woods. Fields can be just as bad and when you live rural, it’s basically unavoidable.

Uhm.. maybe the woods is safest. According to the link posted by T.B. Yoits:

"....In case you didn’t know, the way a tick finds a person or an animal to climb on to is the tick climbs to the top of a blade of grass and sits there, ready to grab on to what ever is the next live thing to brush by. "

Do not sit on grass wearing short shorts!
