Want strategies you can use to make your backyard more tick resistant? Below, our tick control experts in Batesville offer five\u00a0quick tips to keep you safe against ticks.<\/p>\n Steer clear of tick-friendly areas.<\/strong> The first step to preventing tick bites is avoiding the spaces where ticks like to hide. If you\u2019re exploring nature, try to stick to trails and paths, and be wary of overgrown areas, such as tall grasses and bushy sections.<\/p>\n Wear tick-resistant clothing.<\/strong> Your clothing is one of your best defenses against tick bites. While t-shirts and shorts might seem like a smart choice in summer, long sleeves and pants will keep you protected if you\u2019re in an area where there might be ticks.<\/p>\n Find an effective repellent. <\/strong>Tick repellents are one of the best ways to reduce the risk of tick bites, so long as you choose a repellent that\u2019s effective. The three best active ingredients for repelling ticks are DEET, permethrin, and picaridin.<\/p>\n Perform tick checks.<\/strong> When you return indoors after time outside, check yourself carefully for ticks. You can also wash clothes on high heat to get rid of unwanted\u00a0eight-legged hitchhikers. If you find a tick on your body, remove it ASAP with tweezers.<\/p>\n Maintain your lawn and garden.<\/strong> Two of the tick control tips we offer to homeowners in Batesville for Yard Armour are mowing grass once a week and trimming shrubs and bushes regularly.
