Simple Tick Treatment Strategies for a Protected Yard
For the best results, leave applying tick treatments to the pros. Keeping tick numbers lower through the seasons and discouraging future infestations, however, are things you can handle on your own with a few easy strategies. Here are a few pro tips on how to make your yard less attractive to invasive tick populations:
- Clearing Away Debris – When debris builds up in your yard, it can provide shelter for incoming tick populations. These pests prefer shaded areas for hiding and breeding, which is why it’s important to clear away leaf litter, piles of rocks, stray tree branches, and other clutter as it appears in your outdoor spaces.
- Mow Your Grass – When regularly mowed, grass is generally too short for ticks to use it as shelter. However, if it’s not being mowed on a regular basis, ticks can quickly move in and use it as a hideout.
- Trimming Trees and Bushes – Trees, shrubs, and bushes, like the grass in your yard, need to be trimmed regularly to avoid ticks hiding out in them. Overgrown foliage is a magnet for ticks, and trimming the greenery on your yard is a simple step in keeping these pests at bay.
