Common Tick Pressures in Ashland and How to Fight Them

In Ashland, there are basically three types of ticks you have to watch out for. They are the American dog tick, the Lone Star tick, and the brown dog tick. Let's take a quick look at them and discuss some tips to get rid of them in your yard.

The American dog tick is brownish red in color and has a preference for dogs, but dogs are certainly not the only animal these ticks feed on. In their junior stage, they'll take raccoons, opossums, mice, rats and other small animals as a host. When they mature and fall off, they will seek larger animals such as cattle, deer, and dogs. This can make them a big problem for pet owners because the American dog tick can spread diseases to dogs and humans.

Lone Star ticks are brownish with a pale dot in the center of their backs. These ticks are prone to latch onto humans and can be found in vegetation by the hundreds. They're definitely a bad past to have in your backyard.

Brown dog ticks are brown or dark brown with reddish coloration. While these ticks are canine specific, they can sometimes bite humans. The thing to really think about with these ticks is that they are the only ticks that can complete their entire life cycle indoors.

There are three main ways you can reduce ticks in your yard. Two you can do yourself.

• Since ticks are brought into your yard on wild animals, everything you do to control wild animals will help to reduce ticks in your yard. Keep your exterior trash in covered receptacles. Put fencing around your property or around outdoor canine recreation areas. Reduce yard clutter to provide fewer hiding places for animals.

• Ticks require a lot of moisture. If you keep your landscaping dry, you can actually make it harder for ticks to live in your vegetation. Put space between your plants, trim tree branches, and trim bushes. These will let the sunlight and the wind dry your plants after you water them.

• Tick treatments performed by a licensed and experienced service professionals. There really is no better way to protect yourself, your family, and your pets from the threat of tick-borne diseases.

What Can I Do About Wasps Around My Yard in Ashland City?

Pools seem to be a magnet for wasps and other stinging insects. Have you noticed? The reason they love your pool so much is that it is filled with water. All of that water is not only refreshing to you on a hot summer day, it is refreshing to insects as well. So don't be surprised when wasps and hornets show up at your pool parties. Let's take a look at a few ways you can prevent wasps from ruining your poolside fun.

Before wasps notice the water in your pool, they may have been lured onto your property for other reasons. By reducing attractants you may be able to reduce unwanted visits from wasps and hornets around your pool.

• Open trash is like ringing the dinner bell for wasps and hornets. These insects can find many food sources in most bagged trash. Keep your trash covered and do a routine cleaning of your trash receptacles to reduce the aroma that can draw stinging pests in.

• Wasps and hornets eat bugs. If you have lots of bugs around your home, you're going to have more problems with stinging insects and more poolside visits. One of the best ways to reduce bugs around your home is to reduce moisture. Many insects require a lot of moisture in order to survive. You can do this by trimming bushes and shrubs, trimming tree branches to let the sun in, and putting space between the plants in your landscaping. All of these will help the sun and wind dry your topsoil after watering.

• Also, make sure your gutters are in good working order and are unobstructed. Clogged gutters are notorious for making foundation perimeters damp.

  Stinging insects eat pet food. If you put food in bowls outside, the smell will draw attention from wasps and hornets. Consider only feeding your pet inside or put their food down only during mealtimes.

• Visitations from wasps and hornets can be drastically reduced by making sure you don't have any nests on your property. Do a search for stinging pest activity around ground holes, rooflines, and in trees and bushes.

If stinging insects continue to be a problem for you, keep in mind that All-American Pest Control offers industry-leading pest control solutions for Ashland residents. Now is the perfect time to get started with a residential pest program that includes the management of stinging pests.
