Things You Can Do to Help Prevent Fleas & Ticks From Infesting Your Lawn

Here in Pennsylvania, fleas and ticks are known to invade lawns and cause headaches to property owners. Fortunately, there are things you can do to ensure these pests don't infest your lawn! Fleas and ticks love to hide in tall grass, waiting on top of the grass blades for a host to latch themselves onto. They also use debris like grass clippings, leaves, and twigs to hide from the sun and their predators. By mowing your lawn regularly and keeping it free of debris, they have no place where they can seek shelter, which will dissuade them from infesting. However, if you want a surefire way to kick these pests to the curb, sign up for a professional flea and tick control service! Professionals will visit your property regularly throughout the flea and tick season to administer effective insecticides to get rid of these invasive pests.

Mow your grass regularly to deter fleas and ticks from your property.

If you let your grass grow too tall, you're creating an inviting environment for fleas and ticks to linger on your lawn. These invasive and harmful pests love tall grass because they can use it to hide from the sun, hunker down when it gets too windy, and protect themselves from predators. Aside from that, fleas and ticks like to wait on top of the grass blades so they can latch on to a passing host. Mowing your lawn regularly will keep it short to deter fleas and ticks and minimize your risk of becoming their unfortunate host. These pests will no longer have a hiding spot on your property, dissuading them from making your lawn their home.

Keep your lawn free of debris that fleas and ticks can use as hiding spots.

Aside from tall grass, fleas and ticks also love yard debris. Accumulated leaves, twigs, and grass clippings can easily trap moisture underneath them, creating a moist and shaded environment where fleas and ticks can seek refuge from the sun and their predators. Because of this, it's crucial to keep your lawn free of debris to eliminate areas where they can hide and get too comfortable. Cleaning up your lawn will not only keep fleas and ticks away but also keep your property looking tidy.
