Are there Ticks in New Zealand?

The New Zealand Cattle tick or Bush tick thrives in a moist, temperate environment and can be found in many places through out New Zealand. Adults are most common during spring and summer and larvae can be seen mid summer to mid autumn. The cattle or bush tick has dark reddish brown legs.

If the ticks appear in large numbers they are usually associated with cattle, but can infest most wild animals and birds, as well as most domestic animals including horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, pigs and poultry.

Heavy infestations can cause serious blood loss to the animal and may even kill the host. Lesser infestations cause tick worry and some blood loss.
