How To Tame Ticks This Spring

by Mosquito.Buzz HQ on Apr 7, 2021 11:34:44 AM

Tick season is starting in Canada.

Ticks are active all year round, but are most common in Spring and Fall. Ticks will begin biting as soon as temperatures are consistently above 7 degrees... aka right now!

Once better weather hits across Canada, so do the ticks. Right now, ticks across the country are gearing up for a blood meal, which is required for them to stay alive and keep their clock ticking.

How To Avoid Tick Bites

  • Wear closed-toe shoes and long-sleeved clothing
  • Tuck your pants into your socks. You'll look a bit ridiculous, but it works!
  • Wear light coloured clothing to help you spot potential ticks easier
  • Wash yourself as soon as you get home to get rid of any loose ticks
  • Do a full body check on yourself, your kids, or your pets if you've come back from a tick prone area
 How To Prepare Your Property
  • Keep tall grasses mowed and keep vegetation trimmed
  • Get rid of any leaf litter or weeds at the edge of your lawn
  • Remove brush and leaves around stone walls or wood piles
  • Move wood piles away from the house
  • Keep your pets and kids out of the woods to avoid bringing ticks back to your home
  • Move kids swings or sandboxes away from the woodland edge
  • Wash clothes in hot water if you've just come back from a tick-ridden area

The best way to avoid tick bites and prepare your property is to use a professional tick control service like Mosquito.buzz to eliminate the risk of ticks.

Our licensed and trained professionals visit your property in spring and fall when ticks are most active, targeting the areas they live, rest, and hide, so you can stay outside all season long.
