And it can be a real pain - literally! ![Ticks in your Massachusetts yard: Here's what to do](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hub/460754/file-2626085037.jpg?width=174&name=file-2626085037.jpg "Ticks in your Massachusetts yard: Here's what to do") With so many tick-borne diseases in Massachusetts, like Lyme disease, fear of a tick bite is at a fever pitch. So if you think you have[ticks in your Massachusetts yard](http://www.burgesspest.com/residential/mosquitos-ticks/), here's what to do. - Eliminate the conditions that make your yard habitable to ticks - so keep your grass short and fertilized. - Remove leaf litter that has piled up over the winter. - Let in as much natural sunlight as possible by keeping trees and bushes trimmed short. - Never store wood piles close to your home. This is the sort of place ticks love to hide.
