Control ticks in Massachusetts
With springtime weather arriving in the northeast early this year, there's increasing concern about how to control ticks in Massachusetts. Fears about tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease are at the center of the worries for New England residents. Here are three tips on how to control ticks in Massachusetts this spring. 
- Treat the perimeter, not your lawn. There's a clear distinction between the recommended industry standard for treating for ticks in Massachusetts and the way some untrained and unskilled individuals haphazarly choose to treat. By creating a residual barrier around your property perimeter, you're helping to reduce the liklihood that ticks will infiltrate your lawn. If you simply have your lawn treated, but not the perimeter, you're not stopping ticks from infiltrating from the surrounding brush.
- Remove leaf clutter and debris. These are the areas ticks like to hide and also the conditions that allow them to thrive. Remove their harborage areas to reduce your exposure.
- Stay viglant. If you have children or pets that play outside, don't let your guard down when it comes to inspecting for ticks. Always consult with your doctor if you have any concerns about possible exposure to these disease carriers.
