After spotting tick in your clothes, then surely you will be taken aback in shock! It is not late to realize that ticks have come so close after getting around your home. Often the pets bring them in. Do not feel shy to admit you can even bear the tick in you after coming home from your garden. But once the ticks find their way in, they shall start to explode in no time. You shall spot them everywhere. 

 

However, having ticks around is absolutely not safe, particularly when there are pets or small children at home. Ticks spread diseases, nasty infections, harsh conditions and even paralysis. However, eliminating the ticks can be easier and prevented from entering homes in future when you have hired the tick pest control team from the well-established pest control firm in Narrabeen. 

 

But, Why Do The Ticks Mark Their Presence Inside  Homes? 

 

Ticks get attached to your pet when you take your pup for a walk through the woods, go hiking through a mountain, or brush up against any wrong bush. If this same tick is rubbed off in the home, or let go away from you and sticks on a surface nearby, then laying eggs will add to the quick infestation. Ticks are capable of laying more than a hundred eggs all at once, thereby causing a massive tick problem once the eggs have hatched.

 

Most ticks species are incapable of surviving long indoors, but the brown dog ticks have good capabilities of surviving indoors. They remain hidden near the baseboard, furniture, window and door surrounds, rug edges and curtains. They start laying eggs there, which hatch onto any pet walking past, to derive their nutrition. 

 

Most ticks found at homes are always not from home. A large colony of ticks is there outside your home or nearby. After they die, the pets usually bring them home and you find only the remains. 

 

So, How To Prevent Ticks From Entering Into Yards? 

 

The surrounding bush or forests are chiefly responsible for driving in a large portion of tick infestations. Say, your property is backing into some bush, then ticks will be coming over into your backyard and targeting the family or pets. 

 

First of all, to keep the ticks out of your yard, keep your yard neat and trimmed. Mow the grass short, rake up the leaf litter, cut down the underbrush up to a meter into the bush when the yard is ending in the bush, get rid of brush and weeds, and remove all dense plants near your home. Move away any wood piles, bird feeders or bird paths from your home since these are attractive to tick-bearing animals. 

 

In the end, build up a barrier between your yard and the bush out of wood chips and gravel – ticks would not be able to cross these and enter your yard. 

 

How Should Ticks Be Prevented From Entering Homes?
