they can crawl too maybe not to far but day by day they advance.
if it were my place i'd have chickens eating everything in site that crawls ....since it's Not ,,,,i will be spreading a tick preventative on the lawns because this will be a very wet season initially.

One way to combat ticks is to put toilet paper tubes stuffed with cotton balls that have been doused with sevin dust along the woodline. The small rodents will take the cotton balls as bedding and the sevin will kill the ticks... Doesn't hurt he mice, but kills the disease vector..
