It's hard to distinguish what a "prone area" is. We walk Lucy daily through neighborhoods...it's suburbia. She was lying on the couch last night and we were petting her, and found FOUR ticks on her. She doesn't run through brush, doesn't go through wooded areas. The only place she walks on is sidewalk and mowed grass. This year is especially bad. We've found over 10 on her so far. Better safe than sorry.
