What Types of Ticks Are Found in Southern California?

Southern California is home to several species of ticks, but the most common types include the Western Black-Legged Tick, the Pacific Coast Tick, the American Dog Tick, and the Brown Dog Tick. 

  • The Western Black-Legged Tick, known for spreading Lyme disease, is typically found in moister regions of the coastal and foothill areas of California, particularly where grasslands meet brush or woodland. It thrives in wooded and brushy habitats, especially in areas with leaf litter and dense vegetation.
  • The Pacific Coast Tick species is widely distributed across coastal, foothill, and grassland environments throughout California, but is less common in very dry areas, such as the Central Valley. It is one of the most commonly encountered ticks in the state.
  • The American Dog Tick, which can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever, prefers open, grassy areas and is common in coastal ranges.
  • The Brown Dog Tick is unique in its ability to thrive indoors, often infesting kennels, homes, and pet bedding.

Knowing these tick species and their habitats can help with effective prevention and control strategies in Southern California. Regular tick control treatments, proper landscaping, and pet protection are essential for keeping your property safe.
