Landscaping Tips to Reduce Ticks

While professional treatment is your best line of defense, modifying your landscaping can make your yard less attractive to ticks. The goal is to create a dry, sunny environment where ticks cannot survive. Start by keeping your lawn mowed regularly; short grass reduces the humidity that ticks need to live. Remove leaf litter and clear tall grasses and brush around homes and the edge of lawns.

Creating a physical barrier can also help. Placing a 3-foot wide barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas can restrict tick migration into recreational areas. Additionally, try to discourage wildlife from entering your yard by securing trash cans and removing food sources like bird feeders if deer are a problem. Simple changes to your environment, combined with our professional treatments, create a formidable defense against these pests.

FAQs About Tick Control

Are your tick treatments safe for my children and pets?

Yes, safety is our primary concern. We use family-friendly products and specific application methods that target tick habitats while minimizing exposure to your loved ones. We also offer eco-friendly botanical options for those who prefer a natural approach. We recommend waiting until the treated area is dry before letting pets or children play outside.

How often should my yard be treated for ticks?

To maintain effective control, we recommend regular treatments throughout the tick season, which in Boerne can extend from early spring through late fall. A consistent schedule ensures that the protective barrier remains active and prevents new ticks from establishing themselves in your yard.

Will treating my yard eliminate all ticks?

While no service can guarantee 100% elimination due to wildlife constantly moving through properties, our professional treatments significantly reduce the tick population. By targeting breeding grounds and high-traffic areas, we reduce the risk of bites and disease transmission to a very low level.

Do I really need tick control if I don't have pets?

Yes. Ticks do not discriminate; they will bite humans just as easily as animals. With the prevalence of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses in the Hill Country, protecting your yard is a crucial step in safeguarding your family's health, regardless of whether you own pets.

Why are there so many ticks in my yard?

Boerne's environment is ideal for ticks due to the warm climate, high humidity in vegetation, and abundance of wildlife like deer, raccoons, and rodents. These animals act as "taxis," dropping ticks into your yard as they pass through. Our services help control the population despite these environmental factors.
