Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
Although it takes dedicated treatments with top-of-the-line products to deal with active infestations and provide complete coverage in the long run, there are several steps you can take to contribute to lower tick populations through the seasons. Here are just a few of the steps you can take to make your yard less attractive to invasive tick populations:
Cutting Back Foliage. If your lawn is covered in overgrown foliage, it’s much easier for tick populations to take up residence. Regularly addressing wooded areas and cutting back foliage will reduce the number of breeding grounds and hiding spots available to ticks, leading to lower numbers in the long run.
Trimming Trees and Bushes. Trees and bushes also provide a safe haven for ticks. Trimming the trees and bushes in your yard not only gives your outdoor spaces a cleaner look, but it also goes a long way toward keeping it safer. This step is especially important if you have pets or children that are going to be playing near the trees and bushes in your yard.
Mowing Your Grass. Many don’t think of grass as a hotbed of tick activity, but it can be if it’s allowed to grow long enough. Regularly cutting your grass to the appropriate length keeps your lawn healthier while also deterring ticks from setting up shop.
