Ticks are parasitic spiders that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs, among other animals. Trees and shrubs are good places for ticks, and they like to attach themselves to people and animals that brush against them.
Ticks and their offspring can transmit a number of dangerous diseases. They can also sometimes cause allergies and anemia.
What is a nymph?
Insect pests go through either easy or complex metamorphosis to finish their life cycle. In the complex transformation, an insect goes from egg to larva (also called a caterpillar), to pupa and finally to adult.
When an insect hatches, it looks like a smaller version of its adult self. It then goes through a series of molts until it becomes an adult.
Ticks transform into different species. When they hatch, they are called “larvae,” but they don’t look like worms. They look like small ticks. They are about the size of a poppy seed and have six legs. They quickly try to latch on to any living thing that provides them with blood. 
Once full, they take time to transform into eight-legged nymphs. L
If you find ticks in your home, you should remove them carefully and dispose of them properly. If they reappear, it may be best to call a professional pest control service.
