Mosquitoes, fleas, and a wide range of other pests can creep into your outdoor spaces and take up residence if they’re left unprotected. And though direct, professional treatments are the best way to fight pests, there are several steps you can take on your own to reduce insect numbers and eliminate potential breeding grounds. Below, we’ll take a closer look at a few of the steps you can take to prevent pest infestations and how our professional pest control at Mosquito Hunters™ actively protects Lafayette, LA area residents from these harmful pests.
Preventing pests from invading and infesting your outdoor spaces requires a dedicated approach. And as a part of this approach, there are some steps you can take on your own. Here are a few of the most impactful of these steps:
Mow Tall Grass
Tall grass is an easy risk factor to manage, and doing so is important because pests can easily hide in it, use it for breeding grounds, and jump on you and your pets as you walk through it. By mowing tall grass and keeping it manicured through the seasons, you’ll be able to reduce your interaction with pests in the long run.
Cut Back Overgrown Greenery
Overgrown shrubs and other greenery can also shelter pests. Trimming back overgrown greenery, especially around your home’s walkways and entryways can go a long way toward helping you avoid invasive insects and prevent them from taking shelter in your home’s outdoor areas.
Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes take shelter and establish breeding grounds around standing water. Effectively managing active water features like ponds and fountains, along with eliminating other sources of standing water, is essential when it comes to keeping mosquito swarms at bay. Cleaning blocked gutters and aerating your soil to prevent puddles can also help you prevent standing water from accumulating.
Clean Up Clutter
Clutter in your yard, like leaf litter and fallen branches, can provide shelter for animals that can carry pests into your yard. Simply tidying up can help you reduce the number of hiding places in your yard and keep pest numbers down.
