When your lawn is left unprotected, ticks can creep in and turn spending time outside into a health risk. Ticks can carry Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and a handful of other dangerous diseases, which is part of why it’s so important to keep these pests at bay. To help you spot tick infestations and determine if you need to take action against them, we’ve highlighted some quick tips below. And to fend off these invasive pests, we offer top-notch tick yard treatments for our neighbors throughout the Gunter, TX area.
Here are a few easy ways to identify if you have a tick infestation:
Check Your Pets
When ticks start making their way into your home’s outdoor spaces, they’ll likely target your pets at some point. Make checking your pets’ ears, paws, and fur for ticks part of your everyday routine. This will help you spot ticks before their numbers get out of control and keep your four-legged friends healthier and happier.
Drag Your Yard
Dragging your yard for ticks is another way to spot these harmful pests. It only requires a light-colored towel, making it one of the simplest ways to effectively search for ticks. To drag your yard for ticks, just grab a light-colored towel and drag it around areas with dense vegetation, tree cover, and tall grass. Once you’ve covered most of your space, bring the towel over to your driveway and check if you’ve picked up any of these pests.
Inspect Common Hiding Places
Ticks are predictable in that they generally pick hiding spots that are dark and shaded, which is why simply looking around for them is also an option. However, because these pests prefer to hang out in secluded places like shrubs and on retaining walls, it’s important to bring a flashlight.
