Yard Pest Control

Your home interiors aren’t the only place where animals and insects can make pests of themselves and garden pest control is a little more complicated since the local critters have got free reign.

The best way to prevent insects from breeding and thriving in your yard is by keeping it well maintained. Piles of brush and weeds are the perfect breeding ground for unwanted pests.

For the same reason, avoid using grass or leaf mulch on your garden beds. Wood chips work better to keep moisture in and pests away.

Keep your woodpile raised off the ground in an area away from your house. Regularly inspect your garden furniture and outbuildings for spider webs and remove them if you see any.

Clean your drains, accumulated, rotting gunk is a haven for pests.

Moles are one garden pest that will visit your yard no matter how neat and tidy it is. In fact, they’ll like it even more.

You can find out more about moles and some of the ways to remove them from trapyourmoles.com.

Don’t Let Your Guard Down
