Ticks are a serious threat to all outdoor properties. These tiny arachnids can infect you or your pets with Lyme disease and other ailments. Worst of all, they are very abundant in the region. At Mosquito Hunters™, we offer professional tick treatment for St. Augustine area properties that is proven to provide consistent relief. For such a common danger, it makes sense to take every available precaution. That’s why we’d also like to recommend some DIY steps to add further protection.
A professional tick control service is the easiest and most effective way to get rid of ticks. That said, there are several other steps you can take to minimize their impact. Ticks enjoy cooler environments, so they are always looking for shade. By keeping your grass mowed to a 3-inch length, you can remove the shade needed for ticks to thrive there.
On the same note, be sure to use a bagging attachment for grass trimmings and to also clear up any dried leaves or other debris. These can create premium tick habitats if left unattended. You should also trim weeds, as ticks enjoy crawling to the top and waiting for their chance to jump onto a human or animal.
Another great solution for your yard is a mulch moat, especially if your property is surrounded by trees. Ticks love wooded areas above all other environments, so by creating a 3 foot wide mulch moat, you can create space and put a hot, dry barrier between your yard and the most likely tick habitat.
Finally, it’s important to protect yourself. When working in your yard, always wear shoes and plenty of insect repellent.
While the DIY remedies mentioned above are great ways to reduce tick issues, they only work in conjunction with our professional service. Without proper expert attention, these measures will not provide the type of protection you need to feel protected from this threat. With our professional service, you can expect:
