Why Tick Prevention Matters Before Peak Outdoor Season

Ticks are so resilient that they can remain active even in chilly weather. Keep them at bay at all times with powerful Wayne PA tick control 

The summer months, and the warm weather they bring, are universally recognized as the time when pests thrive and interfere most with our backyard comfort. Mosquitoes, ticks, and other common backyard insects are of chief concern in this regard due to their ability to transmit dangerous diseases to humans, so how can you fight back most effectively? Typically, people rely on insect repellent and citronella candles to reduce the likelihood of receiving a bite from mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests, but this is only helpful in your immediate proximity. Unbeknownst to you, your yard could be an ideal habitat for ticks to thrive, and insect repellent will do nothing to make your property less attractive to these tiny parasites. Before summer has arrived, ticks will return to activity and begin to seek out opportunities to breed with other ticks in the area, laying anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 eggs in one go! This early start means that most tick control measures are best utilized in the early to mid-spring, when ticks are just starting to become active again. Any delay means these parasites could emerge in the many thousands in your yard, potentially putting you and your health at risk. So, what can you do to take early action and ensure ticks don’t get the freedom to target you in your yard whenever you head outside?

DIY Wayne PA Tick Control, Is it Enough?

While ticks get an early start each year, there are some things you can do that will make sure they are less comfortable in your yard, but yard work is involved. Ticks thrive in areas with plenty of leaf litter, tall grass, and unruly foliage, where they can hide, breed, and launch their next hitchhiking missions. So, removing last year’s leaf litter, clearing yard waste, mowing and trimming grasses and bushes, and keeping the yard neat will make ticks less likely to choose your yard as their next home. However, this work won’t repel ticks, and may only inconvenience them. For the best coverage, professional help is essential.
