Among all the pests that can take up residence in your home’s outdoor spaces, ticks are some of the most dangerous. These pests are capable of carrying and transmitting dangerous diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease, and they can also pose a threat to the health of your pets. To fight ticks, it’s important to identify some common places where they hide. Below, we’ll take a look at some common tick hotspots and how our tick control solutions in the Chesterfield area keep these harmful pests at bay in the long run.
Ticks can hide in a long list of different places in your yard. Identifying these potential tick hotspots and addressing them is crucial when it comes to preventing these pests from moving into your yard and attacking you and your pets when you’re spending time outside. Here’s a closer look at some of the most common tick hiding places:
Wooded Areas
Deer ticks and a wide range of other ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, due to the fact that their main sources of prey hang out in these areas. Wherever you can find wild animals, you can also often find populations of ticks. Establishing a barrier between your yard and any wooded spaces surrounding it is an essential part of keeping ticks at bay.
Tall Grass
Another common hotspot for ticks is tall grass. Tall grass provides ticks with the shelter and cover they need to hide out while they breed and search for their next meal. By regularly trimming your grass to the proper height, you can reduce potential tick habitats in your home’s outdoor spaces.
Animal Breeding Grounds
If there are areas in your yard where you commonly see animals breeding, like in dense underbrush or shrubs, it’s common for ticks to either be already there or headed toward them. Eliminating active or potential animal breeding grounds on your property goes a long way toward preventing ticks.
