If You See These Eggs In Your Backyard, Burn Them Immediately: A Comprehensive Guide to Identifying and Managing Tick Eggs

Remove Deer-Attracting Plants: Deer ticks, responsible for spreading Lyme disease, can be deterred by eliminating plants like tulips, hostas, and azaleas, which attract deer.

Introduce Tick-Repelling Plants: Planting herbs like mint, rosemary, and flowers such as chrysanthemums can help keep ticks away.

Regular Lawn Maintenance: Keep your lawn mowed and reduce heavy brush and ground cover. This reduces the habitat for ticks.
