From how I understand it ticks have chemoreceptors, or organs that can spot chemicals in the air. In a tick's case the chemical is carbon dioxide, which is excreted into the environment anytime any living organism breathes out.
spiders make webs to catch there prey and ticks are parasites the feed off there host.
Ticks and spiders are both arachnids, but they have key differences in behavior and physical characteristics. Ticks are parasitic and feed on blood, while spiders are predators that hunt and capture their prey. Ticks have a rounded body shape and lack distinct body segments, while spiders have a distinct body with two main segments and eight legs. Additionally, ticks do not spin webs like spiders do to catch their prey.

Ticks survive on the blood of their host. No host and the tick will die a very slow death.
Ticks are small arachnids with oval bodies and eight legs, similar to spiders. However, ticks are typically smaller and have a flat, tear-shaped body when unfed, while spiders have a rounder body shape. Additionally, ticks have a specialized mouthpart for feeding on blood, while spiders have fangs for injecting venom into their prey.
Yes. Large North American animals that prey on horses include wolves, dogs, bears and cougars. Small animals that prey on horses include ticks, blowflies, deer flys, intestinal worms and others.
To find ticks in a bed it is best to strip the bed piece by piece and wash all bedding after inspection. Look under and around the frame as well.
A group of ticks is called a "cluster" or a "pack."
ticks have no use
Falcons find their prey using their sharp vision. The falcon flies up to a high altitude, then scans the ground below for prey.
Ticks generally have a three stage life cycle based on three blood meals. Born as Larval with 6 legs they need a blood meal to molt into Nymphs, then another blood meal to become Adults. Ticks are drawn to carbon dioxide and use it as target to find mammals. Often you will find a concentration of ticks along the side of the roads due to the exhaust fumes from cars (carbon dioxide among them).
There are many ways ticks can get into your house without the help of your furry friend.These are just a couple of reasons you find them in your home. 1. Someone was in the grass and came into your house. Then the ticks jumped off and now you have unwanted guest 2. Possibly the door or window was open and the ticks invited themself in.
