In addition to being irritating, ticks can be dangerous. These pests can carry a wide range of diseases, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Keeping these pests out of your yard is an important part of maintaining outdoor spaces you can safely enjoy, but it’s not easy to do alone. With our proven approach to tick control, we bring long-lasting protection to our neighbors located all over the Centre Hall, PA area.
Easy Tick Control Tips for a Safer Lawn
Fighting ticks is a job that’s better left in the hands of our knowledgeable professionals. However, when it comes to deterring ticks from coming onto your property and keeping their numbers lower in the long run, there’s a handful of steps you can take yourself. Here’s a closer look at some of these steps:
Eliminating Mouse Habitats. When mice infiltrate your home’s outdoor spaces, they can bring tick populations in with them. These critters are generally drawn to cluttered areas that are covered with leaf litter, stray tree branches, piles of rocks, and other debris. By keeping your yard clear of this debris, you can prevent mice from moving into your home’s outdoor spaces and bringing ticks with them.
Creating a Tick Barrier. If wooded areas or areas populated by tall grass surround your yard, it’s important to establish a barrier between them. Creating a simple barrier made of wood chips or strips of tree bark can be an effective tool when it comes to discouraging tick infestations and keeping these pests out of your yard through the seasons.
Mowing Your Grass. While the grass that covers your lawn will typically be too short for ticks to take up shelter in it, they won’t hesitate to move in if it’s left unmaintained. By mowing your grass on a regular basis, you can keep ticks out while also maintaining a greener, healthier lawn.
