brush, and debris from areas close to your home.
Discourage Rodents and Other Hosts
Keep outdoor areas clean and avoid conditions that attract rodents and other wildlife that can serve as hosts for ticks.
Reduce Deer Activity
Where appropriate, reduce landscaping features that attract deer and consider measures that discourage deer from frequently entering your property.
Create a Buffer Zone
A strip of gravel or wood chips between frequently used lawn areas and wooded or heavily vegetated areas can help create a clearer separation between people and tick-friendly habitat.
