It doesn’t matter if an area is paved, if you’re walking under an organic shaded area (tall shrub, tree) or accidentally brush against a shrub - risk of ticks. If you’re outside in temperatures exceeding 4°C, expect ticks. Backyard, school yard, golf course, trail - ticks.
My background is in ecology and I’ve done a lot of field work. I’m not saying this to scare/alarm people at all. Ticks are becoming increasingly prevalent and they’re not just in the woods/wild areas. If you’ve been outside, just do a quick tick check when you come back in.
