Fleas and ticks can be a real nuisance here in Oklahoma. They can carry dangerous diseases that are transmitted through their bites, which is why it's important to keep them off of your property by following these 3 tips: mow your grass on a regular basis, keep your lawn free of any debris, and sign up for a professional flea and tick control service. Eliminating favorable habitats is essential, and fleas and ticks love moist, shady areas that provide cover. Mowing your lawn regularly will help prevent them from making their home in your grass. Picking up any debris on your lawn will also reduce the likelihood of fleas and ticks harboring on your property. However, the best way to ensure fleas and ticks stay off of your property is to sign up for professional flea and tick treatments.

1. Mow your grass on a regular basis.

Fleas and ticks are attracted to tall grass and will use it to hide. It offers protection and shade, which is why regularly mowing your lawn is a great way to discourage these pesky insects from taking refuge on your property. With shorter grass, more sunlight will reach the ground. With more light and dryer conditions, ticks and fleas will be less likely to make your lawn their home. Not only will mowing your lawn keep the flea and tick population to a minimum, but it will be more aesthetically appealing, too.

2. Keep Your Lawn Free of Debris

Fleas and ticks tend to love moist, dark, and shady environments, and it's important to minimize these areas on your lawn to discourage these pests from inhabiting your property. Leaves, sticks, and any other type of debris are perfect habitats that attract these pests. Actively clearing your yard of any type of debris can help lessen the opportunities for fleas and ticks to thrive on your property.

If you live next to wooded areas, you can build a barrier with dry wood chips or gravel to discourage ticks and fleas from moving onto your property.

3. Sign up for a professional flea and tick control service.
