What should you do if you spot them in your garden?
First and foremost: don’t panic, but above all, don’t ignore it . If you spot this type of suspicious cluster, avoid touching it with your bare hands. The best course of action is to contact a pest control professional . These experts will be able to assess the situation and intervene without endangering your health or the health of those around you.
If you find a tick on your skin, gently remove it with fine tweezers (like disinfected tweezers ), grasping it as close to the skin as possible without twisting it. Then, to dispose of it safely, you have several options: soak it in rubbing alcohol, seal it in a small airtight freezer bag , or simply flush it down the toilet.

A few simple tips can make all the difference. First, limit dense vegetation in frequently used areas of the garden. Second, be wary of certain plants that ticks seem to like, such as azaleas or some varieties of tulips. While you don’t necessarily have to banish them, it’s best to keep them away from walkways.
Remember to regularly check clothing and skin (especially behind the knees, under the arms, and in skin folds) after a walk or gardening session. And what about our four-legged friends? A quick check-up after walks is highly recommended .
