The answer to 'tick prevention tips' is to take a proactive approach to protect your home and family from ticks. This includes regularly inspecting your property, using effective repellents, and making your yard less attractive to ticks and the animals they feed on.
Start by clearing brush, tall grass, and leaf litter around your home, as these provide ideal habitats for ticks. Use an EPA-registered insecticide or acaricide (tick-specific pesticide) to treat your lawn, garden, and any other areas where ticks may be present. Reapply these treatments every 4-6 weeks during tick season, typically from early spring to late fall.
