    Is there a way to have more native plants growing without increasing ticks? I just bought a house and have a couple areas it would be great to not have to maintain, but I have dogs and don’t wanna have to worry about ticks.

      While ticks are not insects, the whole point is to make the area more liveable for many local animals. I don’t think you can exclude ticks from that.

      Maybe you can lightly fence off some areas so the dogs don’t go there.
