Your backyard may be a peaceful retreat, but it could also harbor hidden dangers, like tick eggs, which can carry harmful diseases such as Lyme disease. Identifying and addressing tick eggs early is essential for protecting your family.
Tick eggs are tiny, about the size of a poppy seed, and are typically white or translucent when freshly laid. As they mature, they may change color. You can find them in shaded, moist areas like leaf piles, tall grass, or garden debris.
To prevent ticks, regularly mow your lawn, trim overgrown vegetation, and remove leaf piles. Planting tick-repellent herbs like rosemary and mint can also help. If you suspect tick eggs, consider consulting a pest control expert for safe removal and long-term prevention.
