There are a few things you can do to avoid the pests that try to ruin your summer plans:
Always do a tick check AND shower after walks, gardening, hiking, yard work, etc
Always put clothes and shoes in the dryer as soon as you come in from a hike or trip outdoors, and put on high heat for at least 10 min
Always wear light-colored clothing to see if you have any hitchhikers and use a sticky lint roller to remove them before entering the car or house. Lint rollers work on pets after walks or trips around the yard before they come back in.
Always use an effective tick repellent (Deet free) on your skin and clothes and hats before going out.
