Manage Ticks. Don’t Let Them Manage You (Or Your Pets)!
These blood-sucking insects cause much anxiety, and for good reason. As carriers and transmitters of illnesses, such as Lyme disease, deer and dog ticks are more than just a nuisance. They’re a threat to people and animals alike.
Luckily, there are things you can do to help manage ticks in your backyard. Some of these tactics include:
- Keeping grass and weeds cut short.
- Removing clutter, debris, and anything else that might house rodents—a favorite host of ticks.
- Keeping your dog or dogs away from tick-infested areas by using leashes and fences (and checking your pets for ticks before they enter the house).
- Sealing cracks and crevices (ticks like to hide) inside and outside your home.
But What if You Have a Full-Blown Infestation in Your Home (or an Unmanageable Infestation in Your Backyard)?
