The tick population has been brutal so far this spring. As temperatures continue to warm, we can expect tick activity to remain high through summer and into fall. Ticks spread Lyme disease, so it is important to avoid tick bites as best as you can.
When thinking about how to prevent ticks, consider the following suggestions:
- Mow your lawn regularly
- Clean up any branches or leaves that may be laying around the yard
- Avoid dumping grass clippings and leaves at the perimeter of the yard
- Wear tall socks, long pants, long sleeves and tick repellent when venturing into the woods
- Always check yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks when coming back inside after spending time outdoors
- Implement an effective tick control plan such as the Tick Box Tick Control System or the Complete Yard Protection program offered by Attention Pest Solutions
