Ticks are usually acquired when walking through tall grass, shrubs and bushes. Another important structural difference between the two lies in the hypostome, by which they attach to their hosts to feed. The hypostome in ticks is barbed and is inserted into the host allowing it to attach itself very effectively to the host.
This is why it is difficult to remove a tick, especially when it is feeding as the hypostome may remain inside the host body. The hypostome in mites has no barbs and so mites can be easily be removed from their hosts. Ticks have no hair on their bodies or have short hair, while mites have long hair on their bodies.

Treat the animal to prevent fleas and avoid infestation in the home. Your local veterinarian can help.

They can be found in bushy shrubs and tall grasses near hiking trails or in the backyard and transfer to humans when you brush up against foliage. They attach to the skin, bury their head and hang on for a few hours feeding on your blood.
