Despite their tiny size, ticks are one of Ohio\u2019s most dangerous animals. As carriers of Lyme disease and other serious conditions, ticks pose a big threat to human health. Worse yet, ticks are stealthy, allowing them to lurk in your yard undetected. A tick control service like Yard Armour\u00ae<\/sup> makes the summer months safer for families in North Olmsted by keeping ticks out of your backyard.<\/p>\n On a Yard Armour plan, we will carefully survey your yard for areas that are vulnerable to ticks. We will then offer detailed suggestions on how to prevent ticks through landscaping and yard maintenance. At the same time, we will create a custom treatment plan for any remaining tick hotspots. By regularly treating these areas, we can dramatically reduce tick populations on your property.<\/p>\n Looking for ways to protect your family against ticks this year? Below, our tick control pros offer tips for homeowners in North Olmsted.<\/p>\n Know where ticks like to live. <\/strong>The first step to avoiding ticks is knowing where they like to hide out. Ticks prefer grassy, bushy, and wooded areas, and they thrive in spots with overgrown vegetation. Avoiding these areas (or reducing these areas on your property) makes it easier to avoid ticks.<\/p>\n Wear the right clothing.<\/strong> Whenever you\u2019re spending time in an area where there could be ticks, the right clothes can prevent tick bites. Long sleeves and full-length pants will give ticks less exposed skin to target. You can wash these clothes on high heat afterward in case any ticks hitched a ride on the fabric.<\/p>\n Find a strong repellent.<\/strong> Spray-on tick repellents are an excellent way to deter ticks and prevent tick bites. But you need to make sure you choose a product with an effective active ingredient. In particular, look for products that contain permethrin, picaridin, or DEET.<\/p>\n Maintain your yard.<\/strong> A well-maintained yard can help reduce the risk of tick encounters for you and your family. Mowing your grass regularly will prevent overgrown areas where ticks like to lurk. Similarly, trimming bushes and hedges will give ticks fewer places to nest.<\/p>\n Choose the right tick control service.<\/strong> With a tick control service like Yard Armour, you can stop the overwhelming majority of ticks on your property. You\u2019ll still need to be extra careful when exploring nature away from home. But at home in your backyard, you\u2019ll have a much lower risk of encountering ticks.<\/p>\n Lawn Doctor of Avon-North Ridgeville offers Yard Armour tick control plans in:<\/p>\nTick Control & Prevention Tips for North Olmsted Homeowners<\/strong><\/h2>\n
