Fleas and ticks can be a nuisance for your family and pets. Here in Indiana, flea and tick season begins in March and ends in December, and they become most active during the warmer months between April and September. It's crucial during the warmer months to do anything you can to keep them off your property. Mowing your grass regularly and keeping your lawn free of debris will help reduce the risk of fleas and ticks migrating to your lawn. But if you find your lawn has been infested with fleas and/or ticks, performing these actions will not be enough to eliminate the problem. While these methods will reduce the population of fleas or ticks on your lawn, it's best to seek out a professional company that specializes in flea and tick control services to treat your property.

Fleas and ticks love hiding out in tall grass. They thrive in high-temperature environments with high humidity while taking refuge from the sun in tall grass. Fleas and ticks tend to prefer areas with plenty of moisture and shade, and if you let the grass on your property grow without mowing it regularly, you’re creating a welcoming environment for them. Mowing your lawn regularly reduces the number of places fleas and ticks can hide since they cannot stand being in the sun for extended periods.

Fleas and ticks also love densely wooded areas because it provides shade from the sun while retaining a lot of moisture. In addition to tall grass, fleas and ticks will cling to fallen leaves, twigs, piles of wood, or anything that can hold moisture and provide them with refuge from the sun. Keeping your lawn free of these types of debris will make your lawn less inviting to both fleas and ticks while also having the added benefit of keeping your lawn looking clean. Removing debris from your lawn ultimately reduces the number of places fleas and ticks can hide, which in turn, keeps them from potentially spreading across the rest of your property.
