Keeping pest numbers down can be accomplished by taking a handful of different steps. Here are some of the most effective preventative steps you can take to keep pests at bay:
Keep your yard tidy. Clutter can accumulate in your outdoor spaces in several ways. Dense underbrush, collections of twigs, machinery, tools, and other objects can give pests plenty of places to hide and establish breeding grounds. Keeping your yard tidy, along with improving the look of your outdoor spaces, will help you keep pest numbers down in the long run.
Mow overgrown grass. Overgrown grass can not only give pests another place to hide, but it can also make it easier for them to attack you and your pets. Tall grass provides pests with the cover they need to hide and breed while also allowing them to jump onto you as you walk through it. Mowing overgrown grass can prevent this and reduce your chances of picking up pests as you walk through your yard.
Eliminate standing water sources. Standing water sources provide mosquitoes with their preferred breeding grounds. By effectively managing puddles, ponds, fountains, gutters, and other places where standing water can accumulate, you can prevent full-blown infestations and keep mosquito numbers lower throughout their active season.
Trim dense foliage. Dense foliage is often used as shelter by a wide range of different pests, whether it’s shrubs or trees. Keeping dense foliage trimmed back, particularly around walkways and entryways, is an effective way to limit pest interactions for you and your pets.
