Lone Star Tick

These ticks are found in the south and central states. They look the same as other ticks except they have a white spot on the back. They also can carry certain diseases. Control can be done by cutting back vegetation and wearing protective clothing when in the woods. All of these ticks generally have the same habits and look similar. Thoroughly checking clothing and showering after being in the outdoors is good practice.
