Keeping tick populations in check is an important part of maintaining safe outdoor spaces. These pests can carry dangerous diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease, making controlling their numbers essential for a lawn that you and your family can safely enjoy. With the proven 100% natural tick control system we use at Lawn Doctor of Altoona-Johnstown-Bedford County, we bring safer lawns to homeowners located all over the Hollidaysburg, PA area.

Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
In addition to the protection provided by our professional treatments, there are some tick control steps you can take on your own to make your yard less attractive to invading ticks and help contribute to lower pest populations season after season. Here’s a closer look at some of these steps:
Cutting Back Foliage. Dense foliage provides ticks with the cover they need to hide and breed throughout their active season. Cutting back foliage when it starts to get out of control reduces potential breeding grounds and hiding places for these pests, helping to keep your lawn safer over time.
Trimming Trees and Bushes. Like wooded areas and areas with dense foliage, the small trees and bushes on your lawn can also be hotbeds of tick activity. If these are areas where your pets and children play, making them less conducive to tick infestations is crucial. Trimming trees and bushes makes them less likely to be taken over by invading tick populations.
Mowing Your Grass. While you may not think of grass being rife with ticks, it can attract them if it’s allowed to get too long. Mowing your grass regularly to the correct length will not only keep your lawn healthier and greener over time, but it will also prevent ticks from setting up shop in your outdoor spaces.
