At Lawn Doctor of NE Louisville, we know how important Tick Control in Buckner. It’s always hard to tell if you have a tick problem in your backyard, and no one wants a trip to the hospital or vet because a family member or pet suffered a tick bite.
Our Yard Armour® plans in Buckner offer an easy way to protect your family against ticks and tick-borne diseases. We start by carefully surveying your yard to identify areas that encourage tick activity. We then offer detailed advice about how to make your yard a less tick-friendly space. Following this, we create an ongoing treatment plan that targets tick hotspots.
This approach can dramatically reduce tick activity, and that means a much lower risk of tick bites when spending time in your backyard.
Looking for tips on how to protect your family against ticks and tick-borne illness? Below are five tips from our tick control experts in Buckner.
Tick Control & Prevention Tips for Buckner Families
Know where ticks like to hide. Ticks love to lurk in bushy, wooded, and grassy areas. You can reduce the number of these areas in your backyard with regular maintenance, such as mowing your grass and trimming vegetation. When away from home, avoiding these areas means a lower risk of tick bites.
Wear protective clothing. If you’re going to spend time in an area where there’s a risk of ticks, try to reduce exposed skin as much as possible. Long sleeves and full-length pants are your personal tick armor. You can also tuck pants into socks so ticks can’t crawl inside.
Find the right tick repellent. Tick repellents are a highly effective way to prevent tick bites, so long as they contain the right ingredients. Look for products that contain DEET, permethrin, or picaridin—three active ingredients that work well against ticks.
Make landscaping changes. There are a number of ways you can landscape your yard to prevent ticks from accessing your property. For example, you can install a tick barrier made of woodchips between overgrown areas and your lawn. You can also remove or relocate features that attract tick-bearing animals, such as wood piles that might attract mice.
Target tick hotspots. What makes Yard Armour so effective is our combination of treatment product and tick targeting strategies. The Yard Armour product is odorless and virtually undetectable to people and pets, yet lethal to ticks themselves. By finding the areas where ticks like to hide out on your property and routinely spraying these hotspots, we can quickly and easily get rid of tick populations.
