Are There Ways to Repel Ticks From Your Property?

Ticks are harmful pests, so it's understandable to want to repel them from your property in Tennessee. Fortunately, a few ways to do this include mowing your lawn regularly and removing debris. Ticks like to hide in tall grass, and piles of leaves, sticks, and other debris create a dark, moist environment where they can stay out of the sun and away from predators. Keeping your lawn well-maintained and debris-free will help reduce places for these pests to hunker down, making it less appealing. However, while these are proactive methods, the best way to ensure ticks stay off your property is by signing up for a professional tick control service. When you do, pros will apply highly effective treatments several times throughout the season to eliminate them and provide consistent, overlapping coverage.

Mowing your grass regularly will make it less appealing to ticks.

One way to repel ticks from your property is to mow your grass regularly. Ticks like to hide in tall grass because it helps them stay hidden, plus they wait atop the blades to latch on to a passing host. When you keep up with mowing your lawn, more sunlight can reach the soil, which these pests don't like, and they have less protection. As a result, it makes your property less appealing, and ticks aren't as likely to stick around.

Keeping Your Lawn Debris-Free Will Reduce Places Where Ticks Can Hide

Another way to dissuade ticks from residing on your property is to keep your lawn debris-free. Ticks are attracted to dark, shady, moist environments where they can seek refuge from the sun and hide from predators. Unfortunately, piles of leaves, sticks, and other debris give them just that! Cleaning up clutter across your lawn will reduce places where they can live, meaning they're more likely to search for that elsewhere.

Signing up for a Professional Tick Control Service Is the Most Effective Way to Repel Ticks

While mowing your lawn regularly and removing debris can aid in repelling ticks from your property, the most effective way to ensure they stay away for good is to sign up for a professional tick control service. When you do, pros will utilize highly effective insecticides to eliminate these pests, which they'll apply several times throughout the active tick season, which runs from April until September, to provide consistent, overlapping protection. They also know where and how to administer their treatments to target their hiding spots, including your lawn and landscape beds, to give you optimal coverage. With professionals handling your tick control needs, you can rest assured that these biting pests will become a problem of the past.
