Our laboratory staff are checking yards for ticks to better understand what factors affect whether ticks are in a yard.  To learn more about the study, visit this page.

Currently, we are enrolling households for these backyard inspections.  Please fill out the form below if you are interested.

You will receive a follow-up call or email from our staff about scheduling a date and time for our staff to visit your property.  Tick checks of yards will take place between December 2024 and March 2025.  If you have additional questions, please reach out by calling 650-344-8592 and mentioning your interest in our 'ticks in yards' study.
