ticks live in dark areas, so if your looking for one in your house its probibly under you furniture, in the crack of the wall, or even in the base of your window! a good thing is they dont infest carpets so they dont hide like fleas. if you are talking about outside then they could be in or near a swamp, a damp area, or a dark area. they could also be on the top of a strand of grass! they are hard to aviod!

Yes, tick bites typically appear as small red bumps with a central dark spot, while spider bites may have two puncture marks and can cause redness, swelling, and pain.

It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect a tick or spider bite.
Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (often referred to as Bactrim) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not specifically for tick or spider bites. While it may be prescribed if a bite becomes infected, it is not a first-line treatment for the bites themselves. For tick bites, monitoring for signs of Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses is essential, while spider bites may require different management depending on the severity. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
