We’re beginning to find these in our home and it’s got me freaked out. I squished one and dark red came out. It looks black and has a rounded back. It’s so tiny it’s hard to zoom in. It moves slow. I’ve found one on dog’s bed (but not on dog), on wall, in bathroom, on stuffed animal. I’ve killed 7 in the last 2-3 days which has got be concerned.

Dear S Black,
This is definitely a Tick.
If you are not familiar with Ticks, please research them a bit. Having them around is not good news. They carry some bad diseases to humans and dogs.
