Where do ticks lay eggs in a house?

Question: Where do ticks lay eggs in a house?

Answer: Sometimes female ticks unknowingly brought inside by a pet will lay her eggs indoors. If so, she will typically lay her eggs in places such as cracks under and behind baseboards, behind moldings surrounding windows and doors, edges of carpets, curtains and other out of the way places that rarely, if ever are disturbed during housekeeping activities.
