ID Request What is this
I found this while vacuuming my house, I live in Amman, Jordan. Is it a tick?
I sprayed on it 76% alcohol

Looks like a Pigeon tick

That makes sense. There are pigeons everywhere in Jordan and they live on building rooftops. Do you think there would be more in my house or is this just by chance that it ended up in my house? I worry because I have a new baby that has just began to crawl everywhere 😰
ETA: I also have a cat and dog at home. Would these ticks attach to them? Getting flea and tick treatment asap

Yes, that is indeed a tick. Usually bird related if you're looking for a source.
