Lawn Care and Pest Control Go Hand in Hand
2
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.

3
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.

4
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.

5
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, youre 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.

6
The Solution

• Your best bet, naturally, is to mow your lawn on
  a regular basis. Youll 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.

7
Contact the Professionals

• If youre concerned about the potential for real
  pest problems or you just dont have time to take
  care of your own lawn to help prevent them, its
  time to call in real help. Its time to find a
  service that can do both for you.
