When you have the help of the experienced technicians from\u00a0Lawn <a href=\"\/high-point-nc\/\">Doctor of High Point<\/a>, you can prevent such hotspots from popping up on your landscape in Sophia.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Preventing and Getting Rid of Tick Habitats in Sophia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ticks are known to thrive in specific areas that contain just the right amount of moisture and shade. Knowing which areas provide these pests with the desired conditions can help you lower the potential for hotspots on your <a href=\"\/high-point-nc\/lawn-fertilization\/\">lawn<\/a>. Here&#8217;s a quick list of spaces where ticks are known to gather:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Piles of firewood<\/li>\n<li>Tall grass<\/li>\n<li>Stone walls<\/li>\n<li>Piles of leaves<\/li>\n<li>Fallen tree branches<\/li>\n<li>Overgrown shrubbery<\/li>\n<li>Bird feeders<\/li>\n<li>Piles of debris<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you are aware that the above areas often provide shelter for ticks, you can make the necessary changes to prevent hotspots from forming. Below are some of the steps that may be required, depending on the specific layout and unique characteristics of your lawn in the Sophia area:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adjust your landscaping design.\u00a0<\/strong>There may be several landscaping changes that you can make, such as getting rid of features like stone walls, bird feeders, and wood piles. You may also want to remove shrubs and even install a fence to keep tick-carrying animals off your lawn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be vigilant about yard maintenance.\u00a0<\/strong>Because your lawn is a living, growing space, it is also important to engage in ongoing yard maintenance to keep ticks at bay. This means mowing your grass frequently to deprive ticks of shade, cutting back shrubbery, and quickly doing away with fallen branches.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get started with tick control treatments.\u00a0<\/strong>Tick control treatments delivered by our professional <a href=\"\/high-point-nc\/lawn-care-local\/\">service<\/a> can also prevent tick hotspots from forming.
