Few pests can destroy your peace of mind the way ticks can. These small arachnids are often unseen, but they are quite common in our lawns, gardens, and wooded areas. Furthermore, they pose a serious health risk to both humans and our household pets, as they are known to transmit Lyme disease. Fortunately, with our professional tick control service, Lawn Doctor of Clifton Park-Ballston Spa-Schenectady-Amsterdam can destroy these pests along with their offspring.
To protect your yard, we also recommend taking a few easy steps to make the area less appealing to ticks. Let’s start with a few expert tips for accomplishing that goal.
Preventing Ticks From Thriving in Your Yard
Want to keep ticks out of your yard? Here’s the first step:
- Consistently trim your trees and plants. Ticks love shade, so deprive them of shaded habitats by trimming your trees and shrubs.
- Maintain a clutter-free space. To further reduce shade, be sure to keep your yard free of any clutter.
- Create a barrier. To protect the perimeter of your property from incoming ticks, set up a barrier using gravel or wood chips. This will ensure that incoming ticks must cross a sun-exposed path to enter your yard.
Hassle-Free Tick Control in Ballston Spa
Did you know that ticks can reproduce throughout your lawn? We rely on a comprehensive process that begins with a property inspection to stop these pests from creating a hazard throughout your yard. This initial step is done to ensure that any tick offspring in the area are neutralized before they can mature.
After we’re done with our breeding prevention service, we’ll move forward with our spray treatment. Our experts will spray your yard and cover your plants and foliage with our insecticide, and this solution will quickly activate and begin destroying adult ticks in the area. Within just one day, this substance will cause a significant reduction in your tick population. Additionally, our service will prevent incoming tick colonies from entering your yard for many weeks after each visit.
