If you have pets at home, protecting them from ticks should be a top priority. These small arachnids are commonly found throughout the shaded regions of your backyard. The consequences can be significant when they bite, as ticks are known to spread Lyme disease and other infections. With our expert tick prevention services, Lawn Doctor of Charleston can help you defend your furry friends from this danger.
We offer comprehensive professional treatments to identify tick hotspots, neutralize future offspring, destroy the adult population, and defend your yard from incoming colonies. In addition, we also provide every pet owner with expert guidance to help them further reduce this issue. Let’s start by going over some helpful tips for reducing tick activity around your yard.
Protecting Your Pets From Ticks
Here are three simple ways you can minimize the risk of a tick infestation in your yard:
- Trim your shrubs. Keeping your trees and shrubs trimmed is a terrific way to reduce shade and minimize suitable tick habitats.
- Mow your lawn. Mowing your lawn will also help to reduce the shade created by tall grass. In addition, it’s simply good for your turf, so keeping up with weekly mowing can be a win-win.
- Create an anti-tick barrier. Ticks hate sunlight, so setting up a barrier around your yard can really help reduce their presence. Use gravel or wood chips to build a three-foot-wide barrier, which will force incoming ticks to be exposed to the sun as they travel onto your property.
Expert Tick Prevention Service for Charleston Area Homes
We strongly urge every pet owner to adopt the tips we’ve outlined above. However, you should not rely on these tips as your only means of protection from ticks. If you want to clear these pests from your property, prevent their future offspring, and defend your yard from incoming tick colonies, our advanced professional treatments are the solution.
To get started, our experts will inspect the area to find and destroy tick eggs. After that, we’ll apply our spray treatment to your plants and vegetation, quickly eliminating ticks that lurk in the area and significantly reducing their population within a short amount of time. With each treatment, you can expect multiple weeks of continued protection from invading ticks.
