How to stop ticks: Kinder Spray’s natural, organic, step-by-step process
As another New England winter winds down, we are getting excited for warmer weather and all the fun that comes along with it: outdoor adventures, barbecues, beach trips, bike rides, hikes and… ticks? Not so fun. If you live in New England, you are probably all too familiar with how sneaky and proliferate ticks can be, and you are probably wondering how to stop ticks from taking up residence on your property. Keep reading to learn about the steps we at Kinder Spray can take to keep the ticks away!
How to Stop Ticks Step 1: Initial Clean-Up
You may already associate tall grasses with ticks, but the truth is there are many other places ticks like to hide and breed. We strongly recommend our Initial Clean-Up Package for anyone who wants to increase the effectiveness of our Spraying Packages. It is an important, targeted step to getting rid of ticks – as well as mosquitoes and other problem pests. The New York Department of Health confirms in their article on how to stop ticks: “Ticks and their primary hosts – mice, chipmunks and other small mammals – need moisture, a place away from direct sunlight and a place to hide. The cleaner you keep the area around the house, the less likely your chances of being bitten by a tick.”
When we do our Initial Clean-Up, we will clear brush, remove tall weeds and leaf litter, and organize your wood piles to discourage ticks. Female ticks lay thousands of eggs in wood piles, rotted tree debris, moss, grass, and brushy wooded areas. We remove their favorite habitats and apply organic cedar spray, a highly effective, human- and pet-safe method for killing ticks – and their thousands of eggs.
How to Stop Ticks Step 2: Three Season Spray Package
