Wear long pants tucked into your socks. Wear long shirts. Wear a head covering. Put bug spray containing DEET on your clothes (not on your body, unless the DEET concentration is < 10% - just my opinion). There are also sprays and powders you can use surrounded by and around your yard to wipe out the ticks. There is no way to maintain them away forever. It is best to be vigilant an check your pets and yourself when coming in from outside.
Want to catch them at darkness? Here's what you do! Get a hooded desk lamp and a small flat tupperware or metal container. At night put a small amount of dampen (inch-deep at the most) into the pan. Put the tub on the floor. Next to the pan on the floor, place the light and point it down into the water. Oh! The pan/tupperware you are using desires to be opaque, i.e. no bedside light can be seen through the container. Point the light into the container and turn on the light. Throughout the hours of darkness, bugs will jump at the wishy-washy and drown in the marine. If you want a more effective slaughter machine, pour a tiny amount of bleach or soap into the river. This will diminish the capillary effect of the water and trade name it NEXT to impossible for these bugs to swim in the hose and save themselves upon reaching the crest of pan/tupperware.
It REALLY works! You will become the bug terminator!
All the bugs that can see the light will be trying to make it! So stay off the floor, if you can, until the morning because it sounds close to it will be littered with adjectives sorts of bugs trying to get to the standard lamp!
Answers: Your mom can treat the yard beside pest spray, and "Deep Woods Off" will help you if you spray it on since you spend time outside. I hate ticks, too. I already get 7 bites this year!!
