When invasive ticks start creeping into your outdoor spaces, it makes spending time outside with your pets and your family a health risk. These pests can carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, making controlling their populations an essential step toward maintaining safe outdoor spaces. By working with our team at Lawn Doctor of Bridgewater, you can get back to safely enjoying your yard. We use our proven tick control to protect lawns spanning the entire Springfield, NJ area.
Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
Although a professional touch is important for complete protection against ticks, there are a handful of steps you can take on your own to keep ticks at bay. Here’s a closer look at some ways you can make your lawn less attractive to ticks and keep their numbers lower through the seasons:
Cutting Back Foliage. Overgrown areas of your yard that are covered in out-of-control foliage are a tick’s first choice when looking for hiding places and breeding grounds on your property. By cutting back these areas and making sure that they’re tidy, you’ll be able to effectively discourage new infestations and keep tick numbers lower in the long run.
Trimming Trees and Bushes. Trees and bushes can also attract tick infestations, especially if they’re not regularly trimmed. Trimming trees and bushes minimizes the number of breeding grounds and hiding spots these pests have to choose from in your yard, and it’s especially important if your children and pets play near any trees or bushes in your yard.
Mowing Your Grass. Mowing your grass is not only an essential step in the care of your lawn, but it’s also an important step toward managing tick populations. When your grass is too long, ticks can creep in and wait for passersby to latch onto. Keeping your grass at the appropriate length does more than just keep your lawn looking great—it also keeps it safer.
