Tick Management

Your backyard may be a breeding ground for ticks. The suburban sprawl has divided the forests where mice, raccoons, opossums, and deer live and have caused them to inhabit your backyard. Ticks live on shrubs and grasses and latch on to anything that brushes by. There may be large areas in the woods that have no ticks and smaller areas in the same woods with thousands of ticks. This wide spread distribution may be the result of the activity levels of the animals they feed on.  Some tick species may feed on any animal, where other species may feed on a particular rodent, bird, or reptile. Ticks may be lurking in areas such as playgrounds, picnic areas, courtyards, walking areas, as well as wooded areas and fields.

A variety of pesticides can be used on ticks. When you perform good tick management, you are not only controlling a dangerous pest, but you are also reducing the risk of contracting a tick transmitted disease.
