To effectively reduce tick populations, consider the following strategies:
- Regularly mow your lawn to keep grass short.
- Create a barrier using wood chips or gravel between wooded areas and play areas.
- Keep play areas free of leaf litter and debris.
- Consider using tick repellents recommended by the CDC.
