When your outdoor spaces are overrun with invasive ticks, spending time in your yard can quickly turn into a health hazard. These bugs can carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease, making controlling their populations a crucial part of maintaining safe outdoor spaces. For dependable protection from these pests, call in the pros. At Lawn Doctor of Annapolis-Bowie, we utilize cutting-edge tick control solutions to protect lawns spanning the entire Edgewater, MD area.
Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
While it won’t provide the same level of protection as our treatments, there’s a wide range of small steps you can take on your own to make your lawn less attractive to invading tick populations. Taking these steps can contribute to keeping your lawn’s pest populations lower through the seasons and boost the effectiveness of our tick control treatments. Here are a few of these steps:
Cutting Back Foliage. When your lawn is overgrown with foliage, it can increase tick activity. Regularly cutting back foliage minimizes the number of breeding grounds and hiding spots for ticks on your property, contributing to lower pest numbers and a lawn that stays safer in the long run.
Trimming Trees and Bushes. Like areas with dense foliage, the trees and bushes decorating your yard can also provide refuge for ticks. Keeping trees and bushes trimmed and tidy not only makes your lawn look better, but it also makes your yard less attractive to ticks. This step is especially important if you have pets or children that play around the trees and bushes in your yard.
Mowing Your Grass. You may not think of grass as a haven for ticks, but it can be if it’s allowed to grow too long. Mowing your grass is a crucial step for your lawn’s general maintenance, and doing it regularly will also help to protect it from invading ticks.
