Ticks are small parasitic insects that live on plants, animals and humans. They are carriers of many dangerous diseases, such as tick-borne encephalitis, borreliosis, babesiosis and others. Ticks can be found in a variety of places, including forests, fields, gardens, parks and city parks.
Ticks are very small, about 0.5 mm in length and 0.1 mm in width. They are oval in shape and covered with many small hairs. Ticks have two pairs of legs that are used to move along surfaces.
There are many types of mites, but the most common are red mites and cross mites. Red mites are red or brown in color and live on plants. Cross mites are black or brown in color and feed on the blood of animals and humans.
Various methods are used to control mites, such as the use of insecticides, removal of crop residues and tillage. However, the best way to protect yourself from ticks is to practice good hygiene and wear protective clothing while outdoors.
