What Is The Natural Predator Of A Tick?
The natural predator of a tick is a variety of animals, including birds, lizards, and certain insects like ants and spiders. Predatory birds such as guinea fowl, chickens, and wild turkeys are known to consume ticks in large amounts, making them one of the most effective biological control methods for tick management. Other mammalian predators such as shrews, mice, and squirrels may also consume ticks in small numbers.
