Landscaping Ideas That Keep Ticks Away

Who wants more information for keeping ticks away? I know many people who would love to learn how to keep ticks at bay.  There was recently an article posted about how you can use landscaping to keep ticks at bay and away from you and your family.  Some examples included using gravel or stones to pave walking paths through heavily wooded areas you use a lot to keep you from walking in grass where ticks might be living.  Another idea that I'm sure everyone follows is to keep their grassed mowed and tidy, this keeps ticks from living in dense vegetation if the grass grows tall.  Keeping your yard and free of clutter such as old plants, wood piles, etc. can help keep away small animals where ticks like to cling to and then get transferred to humans.  Check out the article here for more landscaping tips on how to keep ticks out of your yard: http://homes.yahoo.com/photos/keep-ticks-bay-9-smart-slideshow/?.tsrc=lgwn%20ForceRecrawl:%200/

Although these are some good tips to keep ticks away from you and to make your yard look better, this will not eliminate ticks completely like Mosquito Squad can.  With our barrier sprays, this kills adult ticks and tick tubes are helpful to eliminate ticks in the nymph stage.  Combining these tips and using Mosquito Squad, we can help you get a tick free yard, so you can enjoy your time outside without having to worry about checking yourself for ticks and worrying about the nasty diseases they can carry.  Contact us today for more information on how to eliminate ticks in your yard!!
