While you might not even notice them until they bite, there’s a strong chance ticks are lurking in your yard. These tiny arachnids are very common throughout the region, occupying the shaded areas beneath our trees and foliage. With their ability to spread Lyme disease, these pests pose a real threat to your peace of mind. Fortunately, with our expert tick control services throughout Leonia, Lawn Doctor of Teaneck provides the professional solutions you need.
Along with our direct spray treatments and breeding prevention tactics, we also provide ongoing guidance to help our clients reduce tick hotspots in their yard. So, let’s start by going over a few easy steps for minimizing tick habitats.
Preventing Ticks From Thriving in Your Yard
These easy steps are a great starting point for preventing ticks:
- Consistently trim your trees and plants. Adult ticks prefer shaded habitats, and they also need shade in order to nest their eggs. So, you can significantly reduce suitable habitats for these pests simply by keeping up with frequent tree and shrub trimming.
- Maintain a clutter-free space. To continue reducing shade, be vigilant about removing clutter from your yard. Anything that doesn’t belong in your yard should be removed immediately, as these pests can utilize any source of shade to set up a home on your property.
- Create a barrier. To keep incoming tick colonies away, you can utilize gravel or wood chips to make a barrier around the perimeter of your yard. This will force any invading ticks to leave their shaded habitats and endure direct sunlight on their way to your property.
