Your Guide to Tick Control in Dalton This Fall
To help you make the most of this season before another winter rolls in, our team recommends the following methods to avoid ticks and tick-borne diseases:
Layer up. When it comes to keeping ticks at bay, long sleeves and pant legs are a must. Now is the time to break out all your favorite outfits, whether you live in flannels and jeans or oversized sweaters and leggings. Try to cover up as much skin as possible so ticks can’t crawl onto a bare arm or leg. Wear tall boots or heavy socks that you can tuck your pants into and close up any other gaps you can.
Treat yourself with bug spray. Apply your own personal tick control treatment in the form of store-bought tick repellents. To maintain its effectiveness, continue to apply it as instructed when you’re out and about. Make sure your kids are also covered before they play outside. Now is also a good time to check that your pets’ flea and tick treatments are up to date.
Check, check. Ticks are wily little critters, so don’t let a day go by without inspecting yourself for some uninvited guests. Check your children as well, and encourage them to look out for these pests when they shower and get dressed. In fact, everyone should take a shower as soon as possible when they get inside.
