To combat these aggressive pests, we recommend that you monitor your yard in between our treatments. Here are a few DIY tips that can help you reduce pest activity and prevent future issues.
DIY Pest Control Tips
For Mosquitoes:
- Watch out for water. Standing water is a crucial component of the mosquito breeding process. Remove unnecessary sources of water from your yard and keep your rain gutters clear. For permanent water sources such as your animal’s water bowl, be sure to replace the water on a regular basis.
- Protect your skin. It is always a good idea to use skin repellents when in a heavily-infested area.
- Grow certain plants. Horsemint, Ageratum, Marigolds, and Catnip are all great plants for repelling mosquitoes from your yard.
- Trim your grass. Mosquitoes love the shade, so shorter grass will deprive them of their preferred resting habitat.
For Ticks:
- Reduce tick habitats. Like mosquitoes, ticks love the shade. Remove debris from your yard and keep your grass short.
- Add a fence. If you have a problem with deer in your area, consider adding a fence to your yard, as these wild animals are known for transferring ticks.
- Build a barrier. Three feet of wood chips or gravel can work very well as an anti-tick barrier. If your property is next to a forest or shrubbery, this can help to limit tick migration from those shaded habitats.
For Fleas:
- Maintain your yard. Fleas also enjoy shaded habitats, so keep your yard clear of debris piles and dried leaves.
- Consult your vet. Use approved flea control treatments to protect your pets and keep fleas out of your home.
