When ticks take over your yard, it can be difficult to feel comfortable spending time outside with your friends and family. These pests are irritating, and their ability to carry dangerous diseases like Lyme Disease makes managing their numbers a top priority. But before you take action against ticks, you need to determine if they’re around. Below, we’ll go through some simple tips for spotting these pests. And to fight them, we offer proven tick yard treatments to our neighbors spanning the entire North Katy, TX area.
Quick Tips for Spotting Tick Infestations
Here are some helpful tips for determining if ticks have made their way onto your property:
Check Your Pets
When ticks start taking over your yard, your pets will likely be among their first targets, so routinely checking them for ticks as part of your day-to-day routine is essential. This will help you spot them before their numbers get out of hand and keep your four-legged friends protected at the same time.
Drag Your Yard
Another simple way to spot tick infestations is dragging your yard. To do this, all you’ll need is a sheet or a light-colored towel. Simply drag it around your yard, paying special attention to dense, grassy, wooded areas, as this is where ticks are most likely to hide. When you’re done, inspect it for any ticks you may have picked up.
Inspect Common Hiding Places
It’s also an option to just look around your property for ticks. However, it’s important to bring a flashlight as these pests commonly hang out in dark, shaded areas like in bushes, on retaining walls, and in areas with heavy coverage from trees or other greenery.
