Because of their ability to carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease, ticks are some of the most dangerous pests that can creep into your home’s outdoor areas. Fighting off these pests on your own is a tough job, and it requires a comprehensive effort that you may just not have the time for. By working with our team at Lawn Doctor of Sussex County, you’ll get headache-free protection. With our proven tick control solutions, we protect lawns spanning the entire Milton, DE area.
Tick Control Tips to Keep Your Yard Safer
It takes professional treatments to effectively manage active tick infestations, but there are a handful of steps you can take on your own to keep tick numbers lower through the seasons. Here’s a quick overview of these steps:
Keeping Your Yard Tidy. Stray leaf litter and tree branches can attract ticks and give them plenty of places to hide in your yard. Taking the simple step of tidying up your yard not only gives your outdoor spaces a cleaner look, but it also takes away ticks’ preferred hiding places and contributes to discourage infestations from popping up in the future.
Trimming Greenery. Greenery like trees and bushes can also attract ticks if it’s left to grow out of control. Trimming back overgrown trees and bushes goes a long way toward making your yard less attractive to ticks, and this step is especially important if you have dense greenery near your home’s entryways.
Mowing Your Grass to the Correct Length. While grass generally isn’t one of the most common hangouts for ticks, they can take shelter inside it if it’s allowed to grow too long. Consistently mowing your grass to the appropriate length, in addition to boosting your lawn’s overall health, takes away potential tick breeding grounds and hiding places for a lawn that stays safer in the long run.
