Prevention is Key When it Comes to Tick Control in Oakville
Ticks are parasites that attach themselves to a host and remain there for days. They often get into your yard on the coats of animals. The most popular is deer; however, ticks can also be carried in on birds, as well as squirrels, raccoons, and mice.
It’s why, when it comes to controlling ticks in the Oakville area, one important step is to keep these animals out of your yard. You can do this by:
- Putting greenery in place around the perimeter, like sage and lavender, naturally deterring animals.
- Eliminating leaf litter, wood piles, and other habitats where these animals hide.
- Erecting a fence to keep deer from getting into your yard and bringing ticks with them.
Another important step to take is to keep your yard well maintained. Ticks love moist, overgrown areas, so by cutting your grass regularly until dormancy and pruning back large plantings, you’ll go a long way in making your yard less of a haven for ticks.
