Ticks are small arachnids that carry Lyme disease and frequently settle in the shaded parts of our yards. These pests can breed quickly and create hazardous conditions for your and your household pets, so it’s always a good idea to take action. With our professional tick control services in La Plata, Lawn Doctor of Fort Washington-Clinton-Waldorf-Brandywine provides comprehensive support to reduce tick populations and prevent future offspring.
Along with our professional treatments, we’d also like to share some tips for making your yard less appealing to these arachnids. So, let’s take a look at three simple steps you can take to minimize tick hotspots.
Preventing Ticks From Thriving in Your Yard
Ready to restore your peace of mind? Here’s how you can make your yard less appealing to tick colonies:
- Consistently trim your trees and plants. Ticks need shade to live and lay eggs, so by keeping up with regular tree trimming, you can significantly reduce the potential space for these pests.
- Maintain a clutter-free space. Since they are quite versatile in their use of shaded areas, any clutter your leave in your yard can potentially create a tick hotspot. So, keep your yard clear of any objects that do not belong there.
- Create a barrier. A perimeter line using gravel or wood chips will reduce invasions from incoming tick colonies, as those colonies would be forced to cross a stretch of land that is fully exposed to the sun.
