The presence of ticks in your yard can be concerning. These pests, along with being unsettling, can carry and transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. And because of how dangerous they can be, having dedicated tick prevention in place is essential. With our comprehensive tick control in Northport, we’ll help you keep these harmful pests at bay. But how are you supposed to determine if ticks are hanging out in your yard in the first place?<\/p>\n
Ticks are extremely invasive pests, and there’s a wide range of different areas on your property where they can hide. Here’s a quick overview of a few common tick hotspots and why they typically seek these areas out when they’re looking for shelter:<\/p>\n
Tall Grass<\/strong><\/p>\n Tall grass, because of the shade and the cover it provides, is a common hiding spot for a wide range of different pests, including both fleas and mosquitoes. Tall grass also provides shelter for rodents and other small animals, which makes it the perfect environment for ticks to hang out and wait for their next meal. If you have tall grass all over your property, there’s a higher likelihood that ticks are around.<\/p>\n Dense Underbrush<\/strong><\/p>\n Leaves and other organic material, when they pile up, can provide shelter for several different types of pests. This dense underbrush can also act as a breeding ground for the animals that ticks typically prey on, which is why dense underbrush is a common place to find ticks. This common tick hotspot can also appear seemingly out of nowhere, especially during rainy and windy times of the year.<\/p>\n Collections of Fallen Branches<\/strong><\/p>\n Rainy, windy weather also often results in fallen branches. And if you have several trees on your property, you can end up with large collections of fallen branches. Animals often target these areas when they’re seeking shelter, bringing ticks with them.<\/p>\n Every yard has its own unique set of characteristics that can contribute to tick activity.
