A lawn that’s crawling with ticks is one that can turn barbecues and birthday celebrations into health risks. These pests can carry diseases like Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, making controlling their populations a crucial step towards maintaining outdoor spaces that are safe for your family and your pets. By working with our team at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Brandon-Madison-Ridgeland, you can have top-notch tick control and get back to safely spending time in your outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n
To effectively eradicate active tick infestations and prevent new ones from popping up over time, it takes a professional approach. However, that’s not to say that there aren’t some steps you can take on your own to keep tick numbers down from season to season. Here’s a closer look at just a few of the many ways\u00a0you can make your yard less attractive to ticks and discourage future infestations:<\/p>\n
Cleaning Up Leaf Litter<\/strong><\/p>\n When looking around for potential breeding grounds and hiding places, ticks generally look for places that are dark and damp. Because underbrush, leaf litter, and collections of stray twigs check both of these boxes, keeping them off your property is a crucial step in keeping ticks out. By tidying up your yard on a routine basis, you can reduce the number of hiding places ticks have to choose from, keeping their numbers lower over time.<\/p>\n Trimming Trees and Shrubs<\/strong><\/p>\n The trees and shrubs in your yard can also become hotbeds of tick activity if they’re allowed to grow wild. Trimming the greenery on your property is a quick way to not only improve the overall look of your home’s outdoor areas, but also to keep tick populations at bay. This step is especially important when you have bushes or other foliage located near your home’s entryways or areas with high foot traffic.<\/p>\n Attempting to fight ticks alone can lead to several hidden expenses, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll be happy with the results. By choosing\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Brandon-Madison-Ridgeland for your lawn’s tick control, you’ll get top-notch protection without the risk. We stand by our service with a comprehensive guarantee to take the uncertainty out of every step of the\u00a0process.<\/p>\n We offer guaranteed tick control to our neighbors in these areas:<\/p>\nGuaranteed Tick Control for Ridgeland\u00a0Homeowners<\/strong><\/h2>\n
