Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
While a professional touch is crucial for getting rid of active tick infestations and providing your yard with a barrier against future invaders, there is a variety of steps you can follow to keep tick numbers lower year round. Here’s a quick look at some of these steps:
Cutting Back Foliage. The foliage in your yard can turn into a hotspot for ticks if it’s allowed to grow out of control. By cutting back these areas, you’ll be able to reduce the number of potential breeding grounds in your yard and contribute to keeping pest numbers down over time.
Trimming Trees and Bushes. The trees and bushes in your yard can also become home to invading ticks, especially if they’re not regularly trimmed. Trimming the trees and bushes in your yard not only keeps your outdoor spaces looking tidier and cleaner, but it also helps keep tick populations in check. This step is especially important if your children and pets play near areas with trees and bushes, which are often located by doors and decks.
Mowing Your Grass. Although ticks don’t commonly take up residence in well-maintained grass, it is possible for them to creep into overgrown areas. By regularly cutting your grass to the appropriate length, you’ll improve your lawn’s overall health while also helping keep ticks at bay.
