In Virginia, tick activity spikes from April through September, so it’s essential to start your prevention efforts early. Begin by trimming tall grass, removing leaf litter, and creating a gravel barrier between your yard and wooded areas to minimize tick habitats. To protect your family and pets, wear long clothing and apply DEET repellents, and be sure to check for ticks after spending time outdoors. If you find it challenging to manage ticks on your own, consider reaching out to My Pest Pros for professional treatments. To schedule a pest treatment, call 703-665-4455. Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be well-prepared to manage ticks all season long.
