It’s hard to enjoy spending time in your home’s outdoor spaces when they’re constantly swarming with buzzing, biting pests. And even though it’s best to leave pest control in the hands of our team of experts at Mosquito Hunters™ in Warminster, PA, there are a handful of steps you can take to prevent pests from taking up residence in your yard. We’ll take a closer look at some of these steps below to help you get started in the fight against pests.
Although there are several steps you can take to prevent pest infestations, not all of them are effective. Let’s take a closer look at some high-impact measures you can take to keep pest numbers down through the seasons:
1. Trim Back Dense Foliage
To reduce pest activity in your home’s outdoor spaces, one of the most effective steps you can take is reducing potential hiding spots and breeding grounds. Because dense foliage is one of the most common hiding places for invading pests, it’s important to trim it back on a consistent basis.
2. Mow Overgrown Grass
Overgrown grass is another common hiding spot for invading pests, especially ticks. And if you or your pets frequent areas with tall grass, you have a higher chance of being bitten or bringing pests inside with you. To reduce pest activity while also improving your yard’s overall appearance, mow tall grass and keep it manicured over time.
3. Effectively Manage Standing Water Sources
Sources of standing water like birdbaths, puddles, and pools of water in blocked gutters can be risky to have around because they attract mosquitoes and provide them with breeding grounds. To prevent these pests from moving in and quickly taking over, make sure to keep an eye out for accumulated pools of water after rainfall.
4. Eliminate Hiding Places for Small Animals
Rodents and other small animals are often responsible for bringing certain pests into your yard, which is why keeping them out is essential. By eliminating potential hiding places for the animals that frequently carry ticks and other pests, you can prevent them from hanging out and causing issues.
