We can't. There are effective population controls though.

Ticks on the other hand could disappear entirely and nothing would be impacted negatively. They're useless parasites.

Just exterminate the ones that bite humans. The non-biting ones will fill that ecological niche, and then you're good to go.

Opossums would be very sad to see ticks go.

It was a sobering moment wandering around the farm supply store and finding chicken "anti-cannibalism spray."

Ticks are bad, but have utility for scientists in seeing if predators of smaller animals have gone out of control in an area.

Not enough utility. Death to ticks!
