As a homeowner, it’s easy to overlook ticks and the dangers they pose. Ticks are tiny in size, and they love to lurk in hidden areas. This means you won’t always know when you have ticks in your backyard. That’s why we strongly recommend our Yard Amour® tick control service for homeowners in Northeast San Antonio.
With Yard Armour, you don’t need to worry about dangerous ticks that might be hiding out on your property. Yard Armour prevents and neutralizes the overwhelming majority of ticks, which means a much lower risk of tick encounters in your backyard.
Below, our tick control team in Northeast San Antonio offers tips you can use to make your yard less tick friendly, along with other ways to protect yourself during tick season.
Tick Control Tips for Yards in Northeast San Antonio
Maintain Your Lawn & Yard. You can reduce tick activity on your property simply by preventing overgrowth. Mowing your lawn each week and trimming other vegetation on a regular basis will give ticks fewer places to nest.
Install a Tick Barrier. Landscaping changes can help make your yard more tick resistant. For example, you can install a strip of wood chips between your lawn and overgrown areas to keep ticks contained to these areas.
Protect Yourself When Outdoors. When you’re exploring tick-friendly areas, your clothes are your first line of defense. Long sleeves and full-length pants are a smart choice, since they reduce the amount of exposed skin where ticks can bite.
Choose an Effective Repellent. Tick repellents are a great way to avoid dangerous tick bites—so long as you choose the right one. Products containing DEET, permethrin, and picaridin are all effective against ticks.
Check Yourself for Ticks. After spending time in areas that might contain ticks, always check yourself for signs of tick bites or ticks on your clothing. If you find a tick bite, you’ll want to remove the tick with tweezers as soon as possible. Quick removal can prevent an infection from starting.
