To help you reduce the chance of ticks taking over your Nassau or Suffolk County, NY yard, we have compiled a list of our most helpful tips:
Keep your grass cut short and your yard free of weeds.
Cut back grass from walkways, sidewalks, and fencelines.
Cut back shrubbery from your home’s exterior.
Remove wood piles, debris, and overgrown shrubbery that can provide a home for ticks and other pests.
Remove things from your yard that will attract wild animals like bird feeders and uneaten pet food. Make sure lids are on trash cans and regularly harvest gardens.
Seal holes in your home’s exterior to help keep tick-ridden rodents out of your house.
