We had a really big problem with them in Mountain View. Deer ticks and plain old brown ones. Our dogs had flea/ticks medicine but I found they would hitch a ride in the house on them and then jump off to die. I was very pregnant and one crawled off a dog on to me..we sprayed the yard after. Hated to use the chemicals but my fear of ticks while pregnant beat the fear of chemicals.
