minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish17•1 year agoIs there a way to have more native plants growing without increasing ticks? I just bought a house and have a couple areas it would be great to not have to maintain, but I have dogs and don’t wanna have to worry about ticks.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year agoWhile ticks are not insects, the whole point is to make the area more liveable for many local animals. I don’t think you can exclude ticks from that. Maybe you can lightly fence off some areas so the dogs don’t go there.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoGood thing I didn’t call them insects then. Unfortunately fences won’t stop ticks as they jump and ticks won’t respect the boundary.
