Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
Effectively managing active tick infestations and placing an effective barrier between future infestations and your outdoor spaces requires a professional touch, but there are a few steps you can take on your own to make your yard less attractive to ticks. Here are a few of these steps and how they contribute to lower mosquito numbers over time:
Cleaning Up Stray Branches and Leaf Litter. When your yard is unkempt and covered with stray branches, leaf litter, and other clutter, ticks will have plenty of spaces to hide and set up breeding grounds. By simply tidying up your yard, you can limit the number of places where ticks have to hide and breed, keeping their numbers lower from season to season.
Trimming Trees and Bushes. Trees and bushes can also provide hiding places for ticks if they’re left to grow out of control. By trimming these features, you’ll keep your yard looking well-kept while also discouraging tick populations from appearing in the future.
Mowing Your Grass. Grass typically isn’t the preferred hangout for ticks, but they can certainly take up residence there if it’s allowed to grow too long. Regularly mowing your grass to the correct length prevents these pests from moving into your yard in addition to keeping your lawn healthier and greener.
