A lawn that’s crawling with ticks is one that can pose a serious risk to you, your family, and your pets. By carrying diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease, these pests can take over your outdoor areas and turn them into a health hazard. At Lawn Doctor of Lebanon and Berks, we utilize a multi-faceted tick control system to protect lawns located all over Jonestown, PA and the surrounding areas from these harmful pests.
Tick Control Tips for Safer Outdoor Spaces
Fighting off active tick infestations and protecting your yard against future invasions are jobs that are more effectively done by the pros, but there are a few easy lawn maintenance tasks you can complete on your own to keep tick numbers down in the long run. Here’s a quick look at some of these tasks and how they contribute to a safer, more enjoyable lawn:
Mowing Grass
While the grass in your yard typically doesn’t provide the degree of shade and moisture that ticks are on the lookout for, it can if it grows too long. Regularly mowing your grass doesn’t only keep it healthier and stronger through the seasons — it also keeps invasive ticks from calling it home.
Cutting Back Foliage
The greenery in your yard, like trees and bushes, can also provide ticks with breeding grounds and hiding places if they’re not consistently trimmed. Trimming back the foliage in your yard keeps it safer by cutting down the number of potential hiding spots ticks have to choose from.
Cleaning Up Debris
Debris like leaf litter and piles of fallen branches are paradise for invading tick populations, which is why tidying up your yard is such a crucial part of keeping ticks at bay. Clearing away any debris or underbrush while you’re watering your plants or mowing is a quick way to keep tick numbers down.
