About Tick Control
Overview of Tick Control
Ticks are a significant concern in New Hampshire due to their potential to transmit diseases like Lyme disease. These tiny arachnids are commonly found in wooded and grassy areas, making homes and businesses near these environments susceptible to infestations. Ticks prefer moist and shaded locations, such as tall grasses, leaf litter, and shrubby areas, where they can latch onto passing hosts like humans and pets. Once indoors, ticks may find hiding spots in areas with limited human activity, such as basements and crawl spaces.
To mitigate the risk of ticks in homes and businesses in New Hampshire, it’s crucial to implement preventative measures. Keep lawns well-maintained by regularly mowing grass and trimming vegetation. Create a barrier between wooded areas and living spaces by using gravel or wood chips. Additionally, individuals should wear protective clothing and use tick repellents when spending time in tick-prone environments. Professional pest control services can also provide targeted treatments to control tick populations and offer guidance on preventive strategies tailored to the specific conditions of New Hampshire, creating a safer environment for residents and businesses alike.
