Because of their ability to latch onto your skin and the dangerous diseases they’re capable of carrying, keeping ticks out of your yard is crucial. However, before you take action against these pests, it’s important to determine whether or not they’ve made their way onto your property. To help you find out if ticks have crept into your yard, we’ll go through some simple tips below. And to fend off these pests, mosquitoes, and no-see-ums, we offer professional tick yard treatments to our neighbors spanning the entire North Fort Myers, FL area.
Here’s a quick look at some steps you can take to determine if ticks are present in your home’s outdoor spaces:
Use a Towel
One of the simplest steps you can take to spot ticks on your property can be completed with just a light-colored towel or sheet. Simply take your towel and drag it around your yard, paying special attention to areas with tall grass and dense foliage. Once you’re done dragging your yard, take the towel or sheet to a non-grassy area, like your driveway, and check it for ticks.
Check Your Pets
When ticks creep into your home’s outdoor spaces, it’s likely that your pets will be among their first targets. By routinely checking your pets’ fur and paws for ticks, you can quickly spot them. And finding them quickly not only helps you take action against them, but it also helps you keep your pets protected.
Get Out the Flashlight
Simply looking around for ticks is also an option. However, because ticks like to hide in shaded, covered areas, it’s essential to bring a flashlight. Pay special attention to retaining walls and areas with tree cover for the best chance at spotting these pests.
If you spot ticks on your property, it’s crucial to take action fast. Our professional tick yard treatments help North Fort Myers residents quickly address active tick populations and put a barrier in place that provides protection against future infestations.
