How can I keep ticks out of my yard?

Even if you don’t think your yard can play host to ticks, you’re better off being safe than sorry. Here are a few tips that can help.

  • Keep the lawn mowed and clear away leaves: The shorter your grass is, the less likely it is that you will have a tick problem. Keep the grass short and eliminate yard waste or leaf piles.
  • Gravel path: If you have a path on your property, don’t hesitate to put down gravel. The ticks are less likely to cross it, keeping your yard tick free.
  • Be careful with your wood pile: If your wood pile is a mess, you’re creating an invitation for ticks. Neatly stack your wood, and make certain the spot where you keep it gets sun on a regular basis.

Don’t let ticks prevent you from enjoying your yard. If you do notice an up-’tick’ on your property, contact Ransford immediately. We offer same-day services if you call before noon.
