Tips for Preventing Ticks in Your Yard & Avoiding Ticks

While it's important to have your yard treated for ticks, it's also important to take steps to prevent ticks from taking up residence in your yard in the first place. 

Here are some tips for keeping ticks out of your yard and avoiding ticks:

• Keep your yard clean by removing any debris or clutter where ticks could take shelter
• Mow your lawn frequently to keep grass short and expose ticks
• Remove any leaf litter from your yard
• Avoid walking through wooded areas or tall grass where ticks are likely to be found
• Avoid areas where wild animals frequent, such as wooded areas where birds and rodents are likely to live

• You or your pet have been bitten by a tick.
• You find ticks crawling on your property or on your pet.
• You find dead ticks in your yard.
• You see a rash or swollen area on your pet or yourself, and it's accompanied by a fever, fatigue, or achiness.
