was there any measures taken to control it's population?
Predators and competitors of tick hosts can indirectly reduce the density and also by chemical like DDT are used..

With the possible exception of widespread [[DDT]] use in the [[Soviet Union]], attempts to limit the population or distribution of disease-causing ticks have been quite unsuccessful. 
The parasitoid [[chalcid wasp]] "[[Ixodiphagus hookeri]]" has been investigated for its potential to control tick populations. It lays its eggs into ticks; the hatching wasps kill their hosts.

Predators and competitors of tick hosts can indirectly reduce the density of infected nymphs, thereby lowering tick-borne disease risk by lowering the density and/or tick burden of reservoir-competent hosts. A study in the Netherlands found that the number of larval ticks on bank voles and wood mice was lower at sites with significant red fox ("[[Vulpes vulpes]]") and stone marten ("[[Martes foina]]") activity.
where do male ticks go to find a mate UNANSWERABLE where are these birds found? They are parasitic arachnids, are external parasites, living by feeding on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians what sort of places do they live in? They flourish more in countries with warm, humid climates, because they require a certain amount of moisture in the air to undergo metamorphosis, and because low temperatures inhibit their development from eggs to larvae. do they face any threat? No but the population or distribution of this parasites is controlled as they spread diseases. which disease do they spread? Few are rickettsialpox, boutonneuse fever, African tick bite fever, and Q fever, Colorado tick fever, Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever.
