Our Preventative Measures

Ticks tend to thrive in areas with tall grass, dense vegetation, and leaf litter. By partnering with us, you can rely on our expertise in tick control to implement crucial preventive measures. We provide advice on proper landscaping practices, such as regular mowing, trimming vegetation, and creating a barrier between wooded areas and your yard to reduce tick habitat and exposure.

How To Prevent Tick-Borne Diseases

  • Wear Protective Clothing: When venturing into tick-prone areas, wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. Tuck your pants into your socks and wear light-colored clothing to make it easier to spot ticks.
  • Use Tick Repellents: Apply CDC-approved tick repellents containing DEET or picaridin to your exposed skin and clothing. Follow the instructions carefully and reapply as directed.
  • Perform Regular Tick Checks: After spending time outdoors, thoroughly check yourself, your family members, and your pets for ticks. Pay close attention to the scalp, behind the ears, armpits, groin area, and the knees. Remember, ticks can be as small as a poppy seed, so be diligent in your search.
  • Create Tick-Safe Zones: Create a tick-free zone around your home by keeping your lawn well-maintained, removing leaf litter, and strategically placing wood chips or gravel barriers between wooded areas and your yard.
  • Protect Your Pets: Consult with your veterinarian about tick-prevention products for your pets. Regularly check them for ticks and remove any ticks promptly using tweezers or a tick-removal tool.
