[quote=Anonymous]Look for a mosquito product that also repels ticks. On your property, get a fence if you can. They can jump 6ft fences, but won't if they can access food elsewhere. Plant deer-resistant plants. Avoid bird feeders and make trash inaccessible so you don't encourage rodents, that also carry ticks. And above all else, keep your lawn mowed short and shrubs neat and tidy so that ticks can't jump on people. Outside your property, on trails, closed shoes and trousers that tuck into socks are a must. Avoid going off trail, and do not walk in long grass and undergrowth. Use large trails that are well-cleared and not narrow paths with overhanging vegetation. Finally, support reduction in deer populations! [/quote]
