Ticks and mites can often be found in?

Ticks and mites are often found in tall grass because these environments provide the ideal habitat for them to thrive. Tall grass offers shelter and protection from predators, as well as the humidity needed for their survival. The heights of the grass facilitate the ticks' ability to latch onto hosts, such as animals and humans, as they brush against the vegetation.

Urban areas may have some ticks and mites, but they are not typically as prevalent as in natural environments like grassy fields or wooded areas. Swimming pools generally provide a cleaned and controlled environment which does not support the natural life cycles of ticks and mites, as they tend to require more organic debris and vegetation. Deserted buildings, while they might harbor a variety of pests, do not serve as a typical habitat for ticks and mites, which prefer outdoor environments where they can find their hosts.
