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

Maintaining outdoor spaces where you can feel comfortable spending time means addressing the pests that can turn going outside into a health risk. And among all these pests, ticks are among the most dangerous. These pests can carry Lyme Disease, and their ability to latch onto you and your pets is a constant concern when they’re crawling around your yard. Our professional tick control protects Holland, MI, residents from these pests. But before you sign up for pest control treatments, it’s first important to determine if your yard is at risk of a tick infestation.

Common Tick Hotspots

A wide range of environmental factors can increase the likelihood of a tick infestation in your yard. Let’s take a closer look at them:

Tall Grass

One of the biggest risk factors for ticks and a long list of other pests is the presence of tall grass. When your yard is covered in patches of tall grass, there are several places for ticks to hide and grow their numbers. Tall grass can also serve as a pathway and a nesting area for the small animals that ticks and other pests feed on. These animals can bring additional ticks into your yard and give resident ticks a food source that allows their populations to thrive.

Dense Leaf Litter

When your yard is covered in clutter, like piles of fallen tree branches and leaf litter, there’s a much higher likelihood that ticks will invade. Leaf litter and dense underbrush provide ticks with plenty of cover and shelter from potential predators. And because they’re located on the ground, piles of leaves are extremely accessible for ticks and the animals they prey on.

Hedges and Shrubs

You can often find ticks hanging out in wooded areas, but these pests don’t need a whole forest to thrive. Ticks can easily move into hedges and shrubs, hide there, and wait to feed on the rabbits, squirrels, and other animals that also often inhabit them.
