Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
To address active tick infestations, a direct approach to fighting them is crucial, but there are some steps you can take on your own to make your outdoor spaces less attractive to ticks and contribute to keeping their numbers lower year after year. Here are a few of these steps and a quick overview of how they can help bring you a safer lawn:
Keeping Your Yard Tidy. Storms and strong winds can blow leaf litter and debris all over your yard. Failing to tidy up this and other debris that accumulates in your yard can lead to tick infestations, as this debris gives them plenty of places to hide and establish breeding grounds. By cleaning up any leaf litter or collections of fallen branches in your yard, you can discourage infestations and help keep your yard protected from ticks over time.
Trimming Greenery. The trees and bushes in your yard can also attract ticks and provide them with their preferred breeding grounds if they’re left unattended. Trimming the hedges, bushes, trees, shrubs, and other greenery in your yard limits potential tick hotspots while also giving your yard a cleaner, more polished look.
Mowing Your Grass to the Correct Length. While grass typically isn’t the first choice of hiding places for ticks, it can provide them with shelter and breeding grounds if it isn’t regularly mowed. Mowing your grass to the correct length not only keeps it healthier, but it also prevents ticks from taking up residence inside it.
