Ticks don't jump or fly. They wait in tall grasses, brush, and wooded areas—then climb onto whatever passes by, including your kids and pets.
Simple steps to protect your family outdoors:
• Keep grass mowed short and clear leaf litter
• Create a barrier of wood chips between lawns and wooded areas
• Wear light-colored clothing to spot ticks more easily
• Do a full body check after every outdoor outing
For your pets:
• Check pets thoroughly, especially around ears, neck, and between toes
• Talk to your vet about tick prevention products
A few minutes of prevention can help protect your household from tick-borne illness. 🐾 https://spklr.io/6180E3Z1g
