Why Professional Mosquito Control For Your Saint Anthony Yard Is A Good Idea

When it comes to mosquito control, you could douse yourself with bug spray, but wouldn't it be nicer if you didn't have mosquitoes in your yard in the first place? Prevention can get you part of the way. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Address stagnant water breeding sites to prevent mosquito reproduction.

• Remove objects from your yard that collect rainwater.
• Clean gutters of all clogs.
• Apply a grade to areas where puddles tend to form.
• Pour water out so that mosquitoes don't have the eight days they need to grow from egg to adult.

These steps can make a big difference, but an even more effective preventative solution is to have mosquito resting areas treated. This works because female mosquitoes that come into your yard are going to rest. If they come in contact with an active ingredient in your vegetation, they're not going to live long enough to lay hundreds of eggs on your property.

Professionals use a fogger to treat outdoor areas. The product used is only strong enough to get rid of simple organisms, like mosquitoes. It doesn't impact humans, dogs, cats, or other critters in your yard. When you want the best control for mosquitoes, these two prevention strategies will get you there.

Ant Control Tips For Your Saint Anthony Home

Before you find thousands of tiny ants in your home, you're going to have visits from scout ants. At only ⅛ of an inch long, one tiny ant won't catch your attention. So how do you stop an ant infestation? You remove what those scout ants are looking for.

• Food debris is a meal for an ant. When ants find food debris, they may return to their nests and lay down a pheromone trail for other workers to follow.
• Rotting organic matter, such as an apple or banana peel left in a wastepaper basket is going to ring the dinner bell for ants.
• Crumbs in your couch will make ants very happy.
• The scent of a dirty trash receptacle can attract ants from a distance.
• A moist spot on the floor where a trash bag sat near the door is enough to bring ants inside.
• Dirty dishes next to a sink can offer a meal to ants.
• Open food or food particles in your pantry or in kitchen cabinets can bring ants inside.
• Leaking faucets provide all the water an ant could want.

When you keep things clean, you remove the incentive for ants to come into your home. If you're not able to keep on top of this, the next option is to have a licensed pest control technician apply a product around windows, exterior doors, garage door seals, and other key areas. This is done during routine visits if you have a residential pest control program.
