Fall Tick Activity in Vermont

Fall brings beautiful foliage to Vermont—but it also brings increased tick activity. Blacklegged ticks can remain active whenever temperatures are above freezing, making fall an important time for tick prevention and control in Vermont.

Homeowners can reduce tick habitat by keeping grass short, trimming brush, removing leaf litter, and creating a gravel or wood-chip barrier between wooded areas and the lawn. Keeping woodpiles away from the house and reducing wildlife attractants can also help.

Regular tick checks are important, but professional tick control can provide an additional layer of protection for properties where ticks are a recurring problem. A targeted Vermont tick treatment can help reduce tick populations around the areas your family and pets use most.

This fall, don’t let ticks take over your yard. Protect your property, family, and pets with proactive tick prevention and control. Reach out to us to learn more.
