Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
Although it takes a dedicated, professional touch to quickly eradicate tick infestations and effectively fight off these pests in the future, there are certain steps you can take that will make your yard less attractive and contribute to lower pest numbers over time. Here’s a quick look at a few of these steps and how they help keep tick populations under control:
Keeping Your Yard Tidy. A tidy lawn not only looks better, but it’s also more resistant to pest infestations. Fallen leaves and collections of twigs can easily shelter ticks and give them a place to breed. Cleaning up your lawn, especially after storms and strong winds, is a quick and effective way to make your yard less attractive to neighborhood tick populations.
Trimming Greenery. Like leaf litter and stray branches, the greenery in your yard can draw in ticks and provide them with places to hide if it’s not regularly trimmed. By trimming shrubs, hedges, trees, bushes, and other greenery in your outdoor spaces, you’ll be able to reduce the number of potential places ticks have to hide in your yard.
Mowing Your Grass to the Correct Length. Although ticks don’t generally hang out in grass, they can move in if it’s allowed to grow too long. Mowing your grass to a healthy length improves your yard’s appearance while also making sure that ticks don’t take up residence inside it.
