Prevention is Key When it Comes to Tick Control in Terrace Park
Living near open fields, woods, or forests in the Terrace Park area can make your lawn a haven for ticks, requiring proactive control. This is simply because they get carried in by local wildlife, from birds and deer to mice and more. To protect your property, keep these animals out by:
- Removing piles of wood or other clutter from around your yard where animals like to hide. If you do have a wood pile, keep it tidy and in an area that’s exposed to sunlight.
- Keeping deer out by erecting a fence, so they can’t get into your yard. These large mammals are the preferred host for ticks.
- Planting lavender, sage, garlic, or eucalyptus around the perimeter of your yard to serve as a natural repellent for animals and ticks.
Once ticks are in your yard, they like moist, shady conditions. That’s why you should also cut back and clear out tall grass and brush around your home or the edge of your lawn. In addition, keep your garden beds clean and dry and cut your lawn regularly until it’s dormant.
