Tick Life Cycle
Ticks go through four developmental stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Unlike fleas, ticks feed only once during each stage of life and may take weeks or months to progress.
- Egg Stage: Female ticks lay thousands of eggs in sheltered outdoor environments such as leaf litter or cracks in soil.
- Larval Stage (Seed Ticks): Six-legged larvae hatch and seek a host. After feeding, they drop off to molt into nymphs.
- Nymph Stage: Nymphs have eight legs and must feed again. They are very small and often unnoticed, making them high-risk for disease transmission.
- Adult Stage: After one more molt, ticks reach adulthood. Adults seek larger hosts like pets or humans. Female adults feed, mate, and then lay eggs to restart the cycle.
