When your outdoor spaces are infested with ticks, spending time outdoors can turn into a health hazard. These pests are capable of carrying a wide range of diseases, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Because of their invasive nature and how dangerous they can be, controlling ticks is crucial for maintaining a lawn that your friends and family can safely enjoy. With our advanced approach to tick control, we keep Columbia, NY lawns protected from these pests through the seasons.
Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
While it takes top-of-the-line products and a comprehensive, direct approach to effectively manage active tick infestations, there are some steps you can take on your own that will make your yard less attractive to ticks and discourage future infestations. Here’s a closer look at a few of these steps and how they contribute to keeping your lawn safer from season to season:
Keeping Your Yard Tidy. Leaf litter and stray collections of twigs can provide ticks with endless hiding places and breeding grounds. By regularly tidying up your yard, especially after storms and rainfall, you’ll be able to limit tick hiding places and keep your yard safer year after year.
Trimming Greenery. Like leaf litter and other debris, greenery that’s left to grow wild can also attract and shelter ticks. Trimming the bushes, hedges, trees, and shrubs in your outdoor spaces, in addition to improving the appearance of your outdoor spaces, can be an effective step in discourage future tick infestations.
Mowing Your Grass to the Correct Length. Grass is generally lower on the list of preferred tick breeding grounds, but it can attract ticks if it’s not regularly cut. Keeping your grass mowed to the appropriate length boosts your lawn’s overall health while also taking away potential tick hideouts.
