If You See These Eggs in Your Yard, Burn Them Immediately: A Complete Guide to Identifying and Managing Tick Eggs

Remove plants that attract deer: Deer ticks, which are responsible for spreading Lyme disease, can be deterred by removing plants like tulips, hostas and azaleas, which attract deer.

Introduce tick-repelling plants: Planting herbs like mint, rosemary, and flowers like chrysanthemums can help keep ticks away.

Regular lawn care: Keep your lawn mowed and reduce brush and ground cover. This reduces tick habitat.

Manage woodpiles and debris: Ticks lay eggs in dark, damp places. Keep wood piles off the ground and away from the house.

Discourage small animal hosts: Maintain stone walls and avoid bird feeders that can attract rodents, which are common hosts for ticks.
