Tick season is in full swing and it is your job to keep your pets protected. Whether they are rolling around in the grass or going for long walks, ticks are lurking. Lucky for you, there are precautions you can take to limit your pet’s risk of playing host to a tick. Here are some great, natural ways to keep your pets tick-free.

Be Sure to Weed
Ticks thrive in tall grass and weeds, so it is probably a good idea to control those areas of your property. Trimming your shrubs and keeping your garden maintained will make it easier for your pets to get around without brushing up against anything. The less contact they have with overgrown areas, the better.

Try Natural Repellents
Even if you keep your property tick-free, there is still a chance your pet will wander into an area that isn’t. Working a repellent like lemon eucalyptus oil into his/her bathing routine could make a big difference. The added bonus of eucalyptus oil is that it repels fleas and mosquitoes too!

Keep Your Pet Groomed
Even if you love that shaggy coat, it might not be the best thing for your dog. The long hair will keep him/her safe from sunburn, but it is also a great hiding spot for ticks. Maintaining a happy medium during the summer months is vital to the health of your pet. If you normally schedule grooming’s every 6 weeks, you might want to reduce it to 4 during the summer.

Use a Lint Roller
For pets with shorter hair, a lint roller works wonders. After you go for a walk, just run the lint roller all over the dog’s’ fur to remove ticks before they sink in any deeper!

Your pet can’t do these things on their own, so it is in your hands. If you want a professional to come in and rid your property of ticks, look no further than the experts at Pest Control Unlimited!
