*Lawn Care and Pest Control Go Hand in Hand

*A Warm Weather

Nuisance

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 Insects

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 Rodents

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.

*The Predators

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.

*The Solution

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.

*Contact the Professionals
