\"CloseupDid you know that the small\u00a0state of New Hampshire has the one of the biggest incidence rates of Lyme disease in the United States?\u00a0That is according\u00a0to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. What’s more is that Lyme disease is not the only illness that these tiny insects can transmit. One bite can infect you\u00a0with spotted fever, encephalitis,\u00a0and more. The good news is that as\u00a0tick control experts serving the Brentwood, NH area,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of SE New Hampshire\u00a0knows\u00a0there are steps you can take to protect your family and your pets.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at five Brentwood area tick control ideas:<\/p>\n

1. Avoid areas where ticks like to hide. <\/strong>Ticks generally like areas overgrown with grass, shrubs, and brush. So if you are hiking and walking on a trail, then stick to the center of it.<\/p>\n

2. Keep skin covered. <\/strong>It may be hard to do during the heat of summer,\u00a0but when temperatures cooperate, keep your skin covered. Wear pants and shirts that protect\u00a0your legs and arms, especially if you know you are going to be in the woods or in an area with a heavy tick population. As tick control experts serving the Brentwood area, we know that donning\u00a0light-colored fabric is also\u00a0a good idea because you can better spot ticks on you.<\/p>\n

3. Apply repellant to clothing and exposed skin. <\/strong>To keep ticks away from you and your children, apply an insect repellant to clothing, especially focusing on shoes and socks, and skin that is exposed. As a provider of professional tick control services in the Brentwood\u00a0area, Lawn Doctor of SE New Hampshire\u00a0knows that ticks do not fly,\u00a0they climb onto their host, typically from the ground up.<\/p>\n

4. Do tick checks. <\/strong>If you’ve been camping or outdoors for much time, perform a tick check before you go inside. Make sure to wash you’re clothing in hot water to kill any ticks you might have missed. If you do spot a tick, do not panic. When you remove it quickly, the chances of disease are slim. Simply use a pair of tweezers to grasp firmly the body and pull the tick out.<\/p>\n

5. Keep your yard safe. <\/strong>During nice whether, you are going to spend plenty of time in your yard. That’s why it’s important to ensure you’re not creating an environment attractive to ticks. This includes mowing grass regularly, and keeping trees and shrubs neatly trimmed. Also, try to deter deer and rodents \u2013\u00a0which often act as hosts for ticks \u2013 from entering your property. For instance, install a fence and avoid using\u00a0bird feeders.<\/p>\n
