After a long summer of fending off all kinds of outdoor pests, you may start to let your guard down as the nights get cooler and the bugs don&#8217;t seem to buzz quite so loudly. Plus, summer is often referred to as tick season, but these bugs\u00a0tend to hang around throughout the fall as well.<\/p>\n<p>Worst of all, ticks don&#8217;t give you any warning when they bite. Since these critters are known for carrying ailments like Rocky Mounted Spotted Fever and Lyme disease, it&#8217;s important to stay on top of your tick control tactics this season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ramp Up Your\u00a0Tick Control in Hokes Bluff this Fall\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of Gadsden, we offer tick control treatments throughout spring, summer, and fall in Hokes Bluff. To further protect you from these disease-laden insects, we often recommend the following tips\u00a0for fall:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">Cover up and secure all of your clothing\u00a0if you can &#8211; Don&#8217;t wander out into any wooded areas in just shorts and a t-shirt. Protect yourself from roaming ticks by wearing long sleeves and pants.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">Keep up with the day-to-day bug spray &#8211; If you are going in and out throughout the day, or spending a significant amount of time outside, make sure to apply and re-apply bug spray. Look for brands where DEET makes up at least 20% of the repellent. Make sure your children use it as well. You should also apply\u00a0flea\u00a0and tick repellents to your pets this season.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">Check for ticks after every outing\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0The longer a tick latches on to you, your kids, or your pets,\u00a0the higher the risk of transmitting disease. Don&#8217;t despair, though. Just carry out a thorough inspection any time you or your little ones have gone outside. In particular, check your scalp, back and buttocks, groin, belly button, and the backs of your knees for any unexpected hitchhikers. Use tweezers to remove them immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Find Out More About Our Tick Control and Other Lawn Care Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lawn Doctor of Gadsden is a locally owned and operated lawn care company that can bring out the best in any property.
