Ticks can live for long periods of time in bushes, as they can go a long time without feeding. When hiding in the bushes they can sense the heat of a nearby living animal and will jump pretty long distances to get to that animal, whether it be you or your dog. That is why it is best to keep a monthly Flea & Tick preventative such as Frontline or Advantix on your dog once a month, year around.
