Ticks are common pests that settle in our gardens and spread Lyme disease and other infections that can impact humans and our household pets. They are certainly the type of creatures you want to remove from your yard, and Lawn Doctor of Cape Cod can make that happen with professional tick control services throughout Sandwich.
Our comprehensive tick control service will eradicate existing tick colonies, prevent their future offspring, and secure your yard against future infestation. In addition, we help every homeowner with tips and guidance to further reduce this issue when we’re not around. With that goal in mind, let’s take a look at some of our expert tips.
Preventing Ticks From Thriving In Your Yard
Here are three ways to reduce the risk of a tick infestation in your yard:
- Consistently trim your trees and plants. Frequent trimming of vegetation will limit the amount of shaded space in your yard, which is critical since ticks require a shaded habitat.
- Maintain a clutter-free space. For the same reason, it’s important to reduce clutter in your yard, as ticks can use anything that creates shade to make a home and lay their eggs.
- Create a barrier. To leverage their hatred of the sunlight, you can put a 3-foot wide barrier around the perimeter of your property using gravel or wood chips. This will force any incoming ticks to cross this exposed path in order to enter your yard.
