[R] Undesired tick marks on top, right axes

   Every lattice xyplot() I've created before this one has tick marks on only
the left and bottom axes. The current plot has sprouted tick marks on the
top and right side, too, and I want to remove them. I've not found an answer
to this issue in Deepayan's book or on the web. I would appreciate also
learning why the extra tick marks appeared. The dput() data are included.

   The plotting command;

rain.all.sum <- xyplot(Sum ~ Month, data=agg.all, col = 'black', type = 'h',
                        main = 'Monthly Total Precipitation\n2005-2018',
                        xlab = 'Year and Month', ylab = 'Precipitation (in)',
                        scales = list(x = list(at = seq(1,162,by=6), cex = 0.7, rot = 90)))

plot(rain.all.sum)

   The data:

structure(list(Month = structure(1:162, .Label = c("2005-01",
