That way, you aren’t accidentally bringing ticks inside your home after spending time outdoors.

If you hike or walk your dog a lot, it’s not a bad idea to keep a lint roller in your car and give your clothing a quick swipe before getting in your vehicle. If you live in the country, consider keeping a lint roller in your garage and rolling your outfit before heading inside your home. When it comes to ticks and the diseases they carry, an ounce of prevention is certainly worth a pound of cure.
