How to manage the landscape in order to minimize the tick population?

The only effective way to fight against ticks is ecological. It consists of creating unfavorable conditions for ticks to survive.

This includes maintenance of parks and forests:

• Sanitary logging
• Removal of worthless bushes
• Mowing from early spring
• Removal of plant debris. This is especially applicable to city parks, recreation sites, camps, motels and other recreation areas.

It also includes reducing the rodent population.
