I rent a townhome.  Today, after grilling, I walk into my back door and saw a spider on the wall.I rent a townhome. Today, after grilling, I walk into my back door and saw a spider on the wall. My son and I looked at it and realized it was a tick! I took it outside although I probably should have just killed. What do I need to do to prevent this from happening again? Do we need to spray something?

You should check yourselves. Scalp especially. Do you have a pet? Check them.

@briony796 no pets. I did check me and my son.

@scend wash the clothes you were wearing. Dont put them in a hamper with other clothes. Maybe you’re lucky and it’s just one. Keep an eye out.

@scend we had them last year from our pet and I was freaked out. It all worked out. Just keep an eye out. Check your bed in the morning also. Not trying to freak you out but I would stay cautious.

@briony796 they like armpits and inside elbows, and in your hair so check thoroughly.
