Use natural tick repellents: Essential oils like cedarwood, neem, and lemongrass, as well as diatomaceous earth can be effective natural repellents.

Create lawn-free areas: Use hardscaping to reduce tick habitats.
Apply insecticides carefully: If necessary, use insecticides like synthetic pyrethroids or natural alternatives like cedar oil.
