This can be really effective.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ticks really prefer densely wooded areas over open grass, so running a border of mulch around your property creates one more physical barrier for them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2560\" src=\"https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ed7f6b6b846e2ee4809938f7121ceccb-265x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ed7f6b6b846e2ee4809938f7121ceccb-265x300.png 265w, https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ed7f6b6b846e2ee4809938f7121ceccb-768x870.png 768w, https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ed7f6b6b846e2ee4809938f7121ceccb.png 830w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to use the wood chips or bark and not the shredded mulch, which ends up creating the kind of damp areas they like.<\/p>\n<p>As always do a tick check on your family before coming back into the house after being outside.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong data-blogger-escaped-style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">ALTERNATIVE EARTHCARE TREE AND LAWN SYSTEMS\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Suffolk (631) 862-5281<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Nassau (516) 252-3588<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organic Tick Control Treatments and Procedures that you can use to Protect your Property and Family from Ticks &nbsp; Tick-borne<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/organic-tick-control-treatments-and-procedures-that-you-can-use-to-protect-your-property-and-family-from-ticks\/\" class=\"btn btn-lg btn-default\">Read more <i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2193,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
