As the first hints of warmth creep into March, it’s easy to get excited about spring. But before you start planning outdoor activities, remember: ticks are waking up too. That’s right, tick control for lawns isn’t just a summer concern. These tiny pests can become active as soon as the weather starts to warm, making it crucial to get ahead of the game.
Why Worry About Ticks?
We all know ticks are a nuisance, but they’re more than just another pest. They’re carriers of serious diseases. Lyme disease is the big one, especially here in the northeastern United States. Educate yourself on Lyme, here.
Ticks can also spread Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis, all of which can cause symptoms like fever, chills, fatigue, and even death. If you find a tick on yourself, a loved one, or a pet, don’t wait – see a doctor (or veterinarian) right away.
Keeping Ticks Out of Your Yard: Simple Steps and Pro Help
So, what can you do to protect your family, friends, and pets? Here are some key lawn tick control tips:
- Make Your Yard Less Tick-Friendly: Ticks love tall grass and shady, damp areas. Keep your lawn mowed, trim bushes, and clear away piles of leaves and debris. This reduces places where ticks can hide.
- Create a Barrier: Consider adding a barrier of wood chips or gravel between your lawn and wooded areas. This can help keep ticks from migrating into your yard.
- Professional Tick Control for Yards: For serious infestations, and for the most effective tick control treatment, professional pest control is the way to go. Experts know exactly how to target ticks and prevent them from coming back.
