Easy Tick Control Tips for a Safer Lawn
A professional treatment program is essential for addressing active tick populations and protecting your yard from these pests in the future. However, when it comes to discouraging infestations, there are several steps you can take on your own. Here’s what you can do to help keep tick numbers lower from season to season:
Eliminate Mouse Habitats
Your yard can become a haven for mice if it’s not routinely decluttered. In addition to the other problems that mice bring, they can carry ticks with them and lead to an infestation. Cleaning up piles of rocks, sticks, leaves, and other debris can be effective in keeping mice out while keeping tick numbers lower at the same time.
Mow Your Grass
Long grass can attract ticks and provide them with breeding grounds. By routinely mowing your grass and keeping it at a healthy length, you can prevent it from become a tick paradise.
Create a Tick Barrier
If your yard is bordered by wooded spaces or areas covered in tall grass, the ticks that take up shelter there can easily cross over onto your property. To prevent this, it’s important to establish a barrier between them. Creating a border around your yard made of wood chips or strips of tree bark can be an effective deterrent to keep ticks out of your yard.
