I've never had a tick problem in 20 years that I have lived in my home. Recently, I've been finding ticks on my dogs and it is driving me crazy. I give the animals the tick and flea control pills every 3 months and normally this will keep all the ticks and fleas off the dogs. However, this doesn't seem to be working. I have seen ticks in my yard and I want a natural way to get rid of them that doesn't harm the animals or the soil. I don't want to spray my yard with chemicals, I'd rather use something that is more environmentally friendly and won't harm the dogs in my yard? What would you suggest? I'm wondering if mixing a solution of apple cider vinegar, baking soda and salt would be a good idea to spray the yard with. I use this solution on the dogs to kill the ticks and fleas on them. ,

I don't know which country do you reside and what kind of yard do you have? From the post I assume that it is not a lawn carpet but soil only. If it is the case then the best thing other than chemical treating is spraying a mixture of kerosene and soap water. Simply stir a bucket or two of water with bathing soap until it bubbles like in a bath tub. Then mix some kerosene to it in a proportion of 50:50. Then spray it throughout the yard. Whether it is tick or any kind of insects, no matter they will flee or die in a matter of time. Good luck.

You are correct in saying I have a dirt yard. I have never heard of this remedy before and I will sure try this tomorrow. There is one thing I don't like, and that is ticks in my yard or on my animals.

There are so many ways to handle this thing. First and foremost, clean the debris in the yard thoroughly. Ticks usually live in dark and moist areas in the yard. The best thing is to call a service that can handle this well. There are some agencies that can do this without any hassles.

Ticks like any other living organisms will breed very well and very fast where there is food and shelter. So one way of controling them is by eliminating their horst from them. This can be done by practicing rotational grazing. Rotational grazing alone will not be effective. Visit any nearby agrovet explain to them your problem and they will recommend to you the best and the most effective pesticide to use. Good luck

The best way to get rid of ticks in your yard is to reduce the number of habitats that they live in, such as tall grass and leaf litter. To reduce these habitats, you can regularly mow the lawn, clear away leaf litter, and trim any overgrown vegetation. Additionally, you can use tick repellent sprays, use tick-repelling plants, and treat your pets with tick preventatives. If you have a serious tick problem, you can also consider hiring a professional pest control service to help control the tick population in your yard.

Try fumigation to get rid of unwanted insects. If you have a bush around you also try to keep it neat because it could be a point of attraction for insects. Also restrict your dogs from going outside your compound with out your watch.

Remove leaf litter.

Clear tall grasses and brush around homes and at the edge of lawns.

Place a 3-ft wide barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas to restrict tick migration into recreational areas.

Mow the lawn frequently.

Perform regular tick checks: Even with preventive measures in place, it's important to check yourself, your family, and pets for ticks regularly, especially after spending time outdoors. Promptly remove any ticks you find to prevent potential bites and transmission of tick-borne diseases.

If you find a significant tick infestation in your yard or if you live in an area with a high incidence of tick-borne diseases, you may want to consider seeking professional pest control services. They can provide targeted treatments and additional guidance based on the specific tick species in your area.
