Tick Control in Clearwater: Is My Yard at Risk for Ticks?

Ticks are a pain to have around. Along with spreading extremely quickly, these pests can latch onto you and transmit many harmful diseases.

With our proven tick control in the Clearwater, FL, area, our team can quickly and effectively address active tick populations and help you keep them out. But before you fight ticks, it’s important to determine if your yard is at risk of a tick infestation.

Common Tick Hotspots

When ticks invade your yard, there are usually a few key environmental factors they’re attracted to. Let’s take a closer look at a few of these factors and why ticks are drawn to them:

Tall Grass

Along with providing plenty of cover from potential predators, tall grass provides shelter from the sun. And because of the shade and cover it provides, tall grass can be a haven for a long list of different pests. The small animals that ticks feed on also often walk through and nest in tall grass, giving them another reason to hang around. If you have patches of tall grass located all over your yard, there’s a much higher risk of a tick infestation.

Dense Leaf Litter

Dense leaf litter is another environmental factor that can draw in ticks and the animals they feed on. Leaf litter can accumulate quickly. And because they’re on the ground, piles of leaves are easily accessible to pests and their prey. If your yard is covered in piles of leaves and branches after a bout of stormy weather, it’s important to recognize that ticks can quickly move in.

Hedges and Shrubs

Wooded areas are ideal for ticks, but hedges and shrubs are perfectly acceptable substitutes. If bushes and other dense greenery are in your yard, it can attract ticks and provide them with the shelter they need to thrive. This can be particularly problematic if this greenery is located near your home’s entryways.
