Zusammenfassung:	Ticks have become a major health concern across the country. The robot is designed to be used during the late spring and summer months when it picks up both tick larvae and nymphs. This autonomous rover is capable of eradicating dangerous pests such as ticks not just temporarily but for several years. The invention has the potential to influence several aspects of society including public health in residential and recreational sectors and industries subject to loss of income by pests. The autonomous rover will effectively eliminate ticks and the deadly diseases they carry for nearly any application, from a tick infested backyard to a large commercial area.
