It’s hard to feel comfortable in your yard when hordes of hungry ticks are crawling around. These pests can latch onto your skin and transmit dangerous diseases, which is why it’s essential to keep them at bay. Taking action against ticks quickly is important, but you first need to determine if they’re on your property in the first place. To help you spot ticks, we’ll go through some simple tips below. And to protect you, your family, and your pets from these invasive pests, we offer proven tick yard treatments to our neighbors located all over the Garden City, NY area.
Here are some of the simplest steps you can take to determine if ticks have made their way onto your property:
Dragging for Ticks
One step you can take to identify tick infestations is with the use of nothing but a light-colored towel. Simply take your towel and drag it around your yard, taking care to target areas with dense foliage or tall grass. Once you’ve covered a large enough area, just take the towel over to your driveway or sidewalk and check it for any ticks you may have picked up. This method is useful because of how quick and easy it is.
Checking Your Pets
When ticks invade your yard, it’s likely that they’ll target your pets. To spot ticks before their numbers get out of control while also protecting your furry friends from these pests, make checking their fur and paws for ticks part of your daily routine.
Searching Common Tick Hideouts
It’s also possible to simply search your yard for ticks. However, these pests tend to hide in dark, covered areas like bushes, shrubs, retaining walls, and other secluded areas, so it’s best to bring a flashlight with you.
If you find ticks on your property, it’s essential to take action quickly. At Mosquito Hunters™, we use some of the industry’s most advanced products and equipment to quickly address active tick populations while also putting a barrier in place that prevents more ticks from creeping into your yard.
