Tick Control Tips to Help You Keep Your Yard Safer
Ticks can be a serious problem in Griffith and Northwest Indiana, which is just one of the reasons applying treatments to fight them is a job that’s better left to the experts. However, minimizing their numbers and discouraging future infestations over time can be managed on your own with some simple strategies. Here are a few of these strategies:
Eliminating Mouse Habitats. When mice move into your home’s outdoor spaces, they can bring populations of ticks with them. To effectively keep these critters and the ticks they carry at bay, it’s important to eliminate potential habitats like piles of rocks, sticks, and leaf litter.
Trimming Trees and Shrubs. Overgrown trees and other foliage draw ticks in and give them a place to hide. Taking the time to prune the trees in your yard and keep your hedges trimmed can go a long way toward preventing a tick infestation and keeping your yard safer over time.
Mowing Your Grass. The grass in your yard will typically be too short for ticks to take up residence in it. However, if it’s left unaddressed for long enough, ticks won’t hesitate to move in. Mowing your grass regularly keeps it healthier while also keeping it free of tick populations.
