Do you live near a wooded area where ticks are common? Here are a few simple landscaping tips to help keep ticks off your property:
⢠Keep your lawn and trails mowed short.
⢠Remove leaves and clear the brush around your home and at the edges of the yard.
⢠Keep children's playsets or swing-sets in a sunny and dry area.
⢠Add a barrier, such as a 3-foot wide strip of wood chips, between your lawn and the woods.
Small changes can make a big difference in reducing tick exposure for your family and pets. Stay safe and enjoy your outdoor space! ššæ
