Tick Season is here

Spring in Vermont means beautiful days (we hope) but also a rising tick population and with it, a rise in the risk of diseases like Lyme disease. While chemical treatments are common, many Vermonters like you are turning to all-natural tick control methods to protect their families, pets, and ecosystems.

Natural approaches—like our botanical oil treatments, habitat management, and encouraging wildlife that reduce tick populations—offer an effective way to manage ticks without introducing harmful toxins into the environment.

You can also take simple steps to make your property less inviting to ticks:

• Keep grass mowed short and remove leaf litter where ticks thrive

• Create a barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas

• Stack firewood neatly and in dry areas to discourage rodents that carry ticks

• Trim back shrubs and overgrown vegetation to reduce shade and moisture

• Consider planting tick-repelling plants like lavender or rosemary

Choosing all-natural tick control isn’t just about avoiding chemicals—it’s about preserving Vermont’s landscapes while staying safe outdoors.
