Ticks
Ticks are some of our most feared pests currently in Pennsylvania. Although they are not the worst pest problem to have, they are not good. As with all insects, they do have a place in the enviornment, just not right in yours! Ticks bite people and animals with razor sharp blades at the end of their mouths. They have inverted spikes that once inserted into it's host make it incredibly hard to pull out. Ticks usually lie in wait atop plants or at the base of plants and when the unsuspecting host brushes past and the ticks grab onto the host.
