Tick Prevention Tips for Families in Norfolk County
Protect Yourself in Tick-Friendly Areas. Ticks love to lurk in tall grasses and bushy or woody areas. You should avoid these areas as much as possible. But if you’re planning to explore these kinds of areas, you’ll want to protect yourself ahead of time. Wear pants and long sleeves to reduce exposed skin as much as possible, and tuck your pants into the top of your socks. You can also ward off ticks with a repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or permethrin.
Check for Ticks After Spending Time Outside. After you’ve been outside in an area that might contain ticks, take time to check your clothing and yourself. Ticks can hitch a ride on the outside of your clothes, or they can crawl underneath to bite your skin. Thanks to a natural anesthetic in tick saliva, you might not feel a tick bite when it happens, so you’ll need to check yourself carefully.
Maintain Your Yard to Prevent Ticks. As part of our Yard Armour® tick control plans in Norfolk County, one of the first things we recommend is to mow your lawn regularly and routinely trim bushes and shrubs. Preventing overgrown areas will give ticks fewer places to nest and hide out on your property, reducing the risk of ticks in your backyard.
