When your yard is buzzing and crawling with invasive pests, it’s not easy to enjoy spending time outside with your friends, family, and neighbors. Protecting your yard from these pests is essential, and while pest control is best left to our team of professionals in Highland Park, IL, there are a handful of steps you can take on your own. Below, we’ll highlight a few of the most effective steps you can take to make your yard less welcoming to pests and keep their numbers lower over time.

4 Key Strategies for Pest Control in Highland Park

While there are many steps you can take on your own to manage pests, not all of them pack the same punch. Here are a few strategies that work for making your yard less attractive to them:

1. Trim Back Dense Foliage

Dense greenery can be a risk factor for pests simply because of the cover it can provide. To prevent pests from taking up residence in your yard, it’s best to trim back any shrubbery, bushes, or small trees, especially when they’re located near your home’s entryways.

2. Mow Tall Grass

If you have tall grass on your property, pests can hide in it and attack as you or your pets walk through it. Mowing overgrown patches of grass can help you prevent pest infestations while also improving the overall appearance of your outdoor spaces.

3. Effectively Manage Standing Water Sources

Sources of standing water like ponds, birdbaths, fountains, blocked gutters, and puddles can attract mosquitoes, which are some of the most dangerous and invasive pests that can end up in your yard. Eliminating standing water where possible and changing it frequently in active water features can go a long way towards preventing these pests from invading.

4. Eliminate Hiding Places for Rodents

Ticks are also extremely dangerous pests, and they generally make it into the outdoor spaces surrounding local homes by getting a ride from the small animals they prey on. Sealing any open areas like crawlspaces and eliminating clutter in your yard can help you minimize hiding places for these animals, keeping them and the ticks they carry at bay.
