Easy Tick Control Tips for a Safer Lawn
Professional treatment plans are necessary if your yard is already crawling with ticks. However, when it comes to deterring ticks from entering your yard and keeping their numbers lower, there’s a handful of steps you can take on your own. Here are a few of these easy tick control tips you can use to keep your yard safer over time, all by yourself:
Eliminate Mouse Habitats
Mice can bring a long list of problems into your yard, with ticks being just one of them. These critters tend to take shelter in cluttered areas covered in rocks, sticks, leaves, and other debris. Removing potential mouse habitats is a quick and easy way to keep these rodents and the ticks they carry safely at bay and out of your yard.
Mow Your Grass
The grass in your yard is generally going to be too short to provide ticks with the kind of shelter they usually seek out. However, if you’re not regularly mowing your grass, and it gets long enough, ticks won’t hesitate to move in. Mowing your grass as part of your routine lawn maintenance not only keeps your grass healthier and stronger, but also goes a long way toward keeping ticks out.
Create a Tick Barrier
Keeping your grass mowed is one thing, but another approach is required if your property is bordered by tall grass. Creating a simple barrier made up of strips of tree bark or wood chips can be an effective deterrent for ticks, preventing them from crossing over into your yard.
