*Lawn Care and Pest

Control

*

While you probably want your lawn to

look great year after year, actually

dealing with the upkeep is nothing short

of a hassle.

What might happen if you took a few

weeks off? Besides a shaggy lawn, are

there other real drawbacks? Absolutely. Stop taking care of your lawn, and the

invasion begins.

*

The invasion will likely begin small. Lots of insects like a slightly overgrown lawn and poorly trimmed bushes and shrubs. Mosquitoes can lay their eggs at the base of overgrown grass. Fleas love to hide in grassy areas, as do many different kinds of ants. Chinch bugs, earwigs, and ticks will love you, too, if you stop taking care of your lawn and landscaping.

*

The small stuff, though, is just

wave one of the invasion. Rodents

love tall grass areas too, as well

as overgrown bushes. It provides

the perfect way for mice, rats,

and squirrels to get in your home.

*

Following those rodents are

going to be the things that eat

them, so you can bet that if

you quit taking care of your

yard, you’re going to have a

problem with snakes and other

kinds of predators, which,

naturally, only leads to more

animal and wildlife problems

near your home.

*

Your best bet, naturally, is to

mow your lawn on a regular

basis. You’ll want to keep it

healthy, though, so try not to

take more than a third of the

grass leaf off at any one time.

Keep your bushes and shrubs

trimmed back at least 6 inches

from your house, too.

*

If you’re concerned about the

potential for real pest problems or you

just don’t have time to take care of

your own lawn to help prevent them,

it’s time to call in real help. It’s time

to find a service that can do both for

you.

*

Contacting a professional immediately is a must.
