If You Find a Tick Inside Your Home, Here’s What You Need to Know

Protection steps
To protect yourself from ticks, wear gloves and long-sleeved clothing that covers your skin. This will reduce the chances of a tick attaching to you.

Clean carefully
Ticks can hide in clothing, bedding, and even in cracks and corners of your home. This is why it is important to carefully clean any area or item with which the tick has come into contact. Wash your clothes and bedding on high heat to kill any ticks that may be hiding. Vacuum the affected area, paying particular attention to cracks and corners.
