Tick Control Steps You Can Take for a Safer Lawn
Although it takes our cutting-edge treatments to quickly remove tick infestations and keep your yard protected over time, there are steps you can take yourself to keep tick populations lower. Here’s a closer look at just a few quick and easy lawn care steps you can take to keep tick numbers in check over time:
Reduce Potential Mouse Hideouts
Delaware lawns can quickly become infested with mice and other rodents if they become cluttered or covered in debris like leaf litter and fallen tree branches. With mice, unfortunately, often come ticks. By clearing away any debris as it accumulates in your outdoor spaces, you can keep mice at bay and prevent them from bringing tick populations onto your property.
Create a Tick Barrier
If an area with tall grass or a wooded area lies next to your lawn, ticks can easily cross over between the two of them if there’s no barrier. Setting up a simple barrier of a few inches wide comprised of wood chips or strips of tree bark can be an effective way to deter ticks from crossing over into your yard.
