Tick Prevention Keeping
grass and weeds cut short in tick infested areas increases tick desiccation
during hot weather, discourages alternative hosts and lessens the amount of
plant material which may need a pesticide application to kill ticks.
Removal of birds' nests in and around the property will reduce tick numbers, especially of soft ticks. Removal of clutter and debris on the property will also discourage rodent populations. You should also remove nesting material left by rodents. Screening and sealing entry points (used by squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, rodents, bats, etc.) to houses and other structures will also greatly reduce tick problems in and around the home. Sealing cracks and crevices where ticks can hide, both inside and on the exterior of your home, will aid in tick management.
