When it comes to ticks, you never want to take chances. Thanks to their tiny size and preference for hidden spaces, ticks are easy to miss. This means you could have dangerous ticks in your backyard without any obvious signs of tick activity. Our Yard Armour® tick control plans offer an easy solution to this problem for families in Coral Springs, helping you keep ticks out of your yard in the first place.
Yard Armour works through a combination of preventative strategies and active tick control treatments. Together, these actions can dramatically reduce the risk of ticks on your property. That means a lower risk of tick-borne illness for anyone spending time in your backyard.
Looking for tips on how to safeguard yourself and your family against ticks? Below are five tips from our tick control team in Coral Springs.
Tick Control & Prevention Tips for Coral Springs Families
Identify and avoid tick nesting areas. Ticks like to live in places with overgrown vegetation, like sections of long grass or bushy areas. Avoiding these areas in the first place is the first step to preventing tick encounters.
Wear the right clothing. If you’re spending time in an area with a high risk of ticks, your clothes will be your first line of defense. Even in warmer weather, it’s encouraged you wear long sleeves and full-length pants to prevent tick bites.
Choose effective tick repellents. You can deter ticks with an effective repellent, but that means choosing a repellent with the right active ingredients. Look for products that contain picaridin, permethrin, or DEET.
Create a less tick-friendly yard. Through Yard Armour, we identify strategies for homeowners in Coral Springs they can use to repel ticks. For example, mowing your lawn and trimming shrubs and bushes will give ticks fewer places to nest. Other effective strategies include installing a tick barrier made of woodchips or taking steps to keep tick-carrying animals (like rodents) out of your yard.
Target tick hotspots. On a Yard Armour plan, you can target tick hotspots on your property, making these areas lethal to ticks. We identify the areas where ticks like to breed and nest, and we apply a tick control product that neutralizes them on contact. While lethal to ticks, this product is virtually undetectable for people and pets, making it a great choice for backyards.
