Tick prevention is key to enjoying a pest-free summer. When outdoors, keep exposed skin to a minimum by wearing long pants, long sleeves, close-toed shoes, and tucking pant legs into your socks or shoes. Wearing an EPA-registered repellent such as DEET and light-colored clothing can help repel ticks and allow you to spot them easily. To help control ticks in the yard, create a protected zone by trimming tall grass and vegetation along paths and keep plants away from your home’s exterior. Additionally, eliminate wood piles, trash, and seed waste to deter tick-host animals.
Ticks are found throughout the United States, typically in areas with tall grass, vegetation, and wilderness. If you find yourself as an unwilling host for one of these pests after spending time outdoors, it’s best to remove it immediately. To remove a tick, carefully grasp the tick with tweezers near the head and close to the skin. Then, pull upward with steady, even pressure to remove the tick. Finally, clean the bite area with soap and water once the tick is removed.
If these pests find their way indoors, getting rid of ticks can be much harder. Some ticks can use carpets similar to how they use grass outside. They can lay their eggs within the carpet fibers, couch cushions, and pet bedding, waiting to latch onto the next host once they hatch. To kill ticks in your home, you can wash bedding in hot water, steam carpets and area rugs, and vacuum frequently. It’s also best to steam-clean hard-to-reach areas like baseboards, cracks, and crevices.

Ticks can carry several harmful diseases, such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Babesiosis, and Anaplasmosis. These diseases can have harmful side effects like fever, rash, and even heart problems or neurological issues. When an infected tick bites and latches onto you or your pet, it can transmit the disease.
Natural tick repellents like lemongrass and peppermint have not been scientifically proven to be effective. Products that contain DEET, Picaridin, and Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus tend to serve as the best tick repellents, according to the CDC. When protecting your pets from ticks, you should consult your vet.
