How to Prepare Your Columbia, MD Home for Tick Season
Tick season in Maryland gets worse every year, especially for families with pets or wooded backyards. Columbia’s warm, humid climate makes ticks thrive — and prevention is key.
Here’s how to protect your home before ticks become a problem.
1. Keep Grass Short
Ticks hide in tall grass and shaded edges. Keep lawn edges trimmed.
2. Protect Pet Areas
Treat yards and pet resting spots. Use vet-approved preventatives.
3. Inspect Outdoor Furniture
Ticks hide beneath:
- Decks
- Patio chairs
- Playsets
- Shade structures

- Woodline edges
