There’s a wide range of different pests that can invade your yard, but not all of them present the same threat. Some pests are much more common than others, which is why it’s important to have some knowledge surrounding local pests, why they’re dangerous, and how likely they are to pop up in your outdoor spaces. Below, we’ll walk you through a few of the most common threats to your yard and how our team of pest control experts in Jacksonville, FL protects you from them.
Out of all the pests that can invade your yard, there are three that are the most common threats to your yard. Here’s a little bit about these pests and where you can typically find them:
Mosquitoes, once they invade your yard, can spread extremely quickly. These pests can lay up to 200-300 eggs at a time, making it important to act quickly once they move in. Mosquitoes lay their eggs near birdbaths, fountains, ponds, puddles, and other areas where standing water can accumulate. They prefer small, stagnant bodies of water, not large retentions ponds. Because these pests breed near standing water, that’s generally where they can be found buzzing around in that vicinity.
Ticks—because of the range of diseases they carry, like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever—are among the most dangerous pests that can invade your yard. These pests typically gain entry into your yard hidden in the fur of incoming animals. Because ticks prey on mice, rats, and other small animals, they can usually be found in the places where these animals are likely to hide and breed.
Fleas/Noseeums are typically thought of as a minor annoyance for your pets, but these pests can become a serious problem if they’re left unaddressed. They can cover you with itchy bites and invade your home if they’re left unaddressed in your outdoor spaces. You can generally find fleas in dark, damp, cool spaces, like in dense foliage. Unlike mosquitoes, these insects are often found int he ground and they often lay their eggs in mulch beds.
