Here are five easy tips to keep ticks under control around your home:
- Keep your yard mowed. Longer grass is attractive to ticks, which avoid shorter grass.
- Be conservative with ground cover. It’s handy, but also highly attractive to ticks.
- Tend to your houseplants. Keeping them trimmed discourages ticks.
- Minimize bushes/shrubs. They are beautiful, but also highly attractive to ticks.
- Be wary of wood piles. Ticks naturally gravitate to these, and then to you.
