Yeah I really don't think these are ticks. They are much smaller and much more mite like they just don't look the same color. Where I live..my dogs have played outside for over 20 years no fleas no ticks and no treatments. But mY hedges have had spider mites in the past thinking I brought something in working in the yard... But there is nothing to feed off yet?? Ill take a pic soon but the only thing there is a sprouted tap root with the first 2 round leaves, the true leaves are just starting to poke out and the bugs are on the bucket lid, when I first saw it was on the little girl and that's when I washed everything. What can I do? I can throw everything out and spray my light and pump? Thanks guys super unhappy I'm hydro to avoid bugs
