Question:
At the end of our yard there is a wooded area is there anything we can do to prevent ticks from coming onto my yard?
Answer:
Yes, the area between the wood and your lawn is known as the ecotone which is the transition area between differing types of landscapes e.g.. forest and field.
Ticks need the protection and use of scrubby plants so they hang out waiting for prey in these areas. Very few ticks actually live on your lawn, less than 2% of the population. Treating the above mentioned areas with super safe plant oils will ensure the tick population is sufficiently reduced to help make your yard a safer place to enjoy. Treatment should be done in early Spring.
