Tick-Free Yard: The Power of Popular Landscaping Grass
Originally Published 2 years ago — by House Digest
Landscaping with yellow pampas grass, a type of xeriscaping, can help deter ticks from infiltrating your yard. Ticks prefer moist environments, so planting drier plants that require less watering creates an unappealing habitat for these pests. Additionally, incorporating rock gardens, wood chips, and barrier pathways can further discourage ticks from settling in your yard. However, be aware of local regulations and the flammability of pampas grass before planting.
