Prevention is Key When it Comes to Tick Control in Jacksonville Beach
Ticks love shade and lawns that are overgrown. That’s why keeping your lawn well-cut and maintained is important if you want to keep ticks out. Beyond cutting your grass regularly, make sure you’re pruning back shrubs, trees, larger plantings, and tall grasses where ticks tend to congregate.
Beyond maintaining your lawn, another important measure you can take is stopping the animals that carry ticks into your yard. Ticks can attach to nearly any animal, including deer, birds, mice, opossums, raccoons, squirrels, and even lizards. Keep them out with a fence or by planting greenery, like sage or lavender, that repels these animals.
Also, work to keep your yard clean. Any leaf litter, wood piles, or other clutter offer great hiding spots for small animals, as well as for ticks to settle in and start searching for a new host. Even spilled birdseed can be a problem because it attracts animals that bring ticks in.
