In addition to our direct services, we’d also like to share some tips to help local pet owners protect their animals from these disease-spreading pests. Let’s take a look.
Protecting Your Pets From Ticks
Did you know that ticks can spread Lyme disease and other infectious diseases? These tiny arachnids are difficult to spot, so you may not even notice that your animals have been bitten. Unfortunately, they are also quite common in the shaded areas of local properties, so it’s important to remain vigilant. Here are three steps you can take to protect your animals:
- Reduce shade in your yard. These pests love shaded environments, so by keeping up with frequent trimming of your vegetation, you can reduce the risk of an infestation.
- Create an anti-tick barrier. With their hatred of direct sunlight, ticks are much less likely to invade your property if they cannot do so through a shaded path. Therefore, you can reduce tick issues by setting up a three-foot wide barrier around your property made from gravel. This will force incoming ticks to endure sun exposure on their way into your yard.
- Inspect your pets. If you have a pet that often spends time outdoors, inspect its body for tick bites regularly. These arachnids will embed themselves in the animal’s skin, so check for any small hard lumps. Remove any ticks you find with a pair of tweezers and destroy the body immediately.
