How to Prepare for the Re-Emergence of Mosquitos and Other Pests

Posted on 4 Feb at 4:07 pm

As the temperatures start to rise across the state of Georgia, we can expect a familiar and sometimes unwelcome visitor: mosquitos. Along with them come other pests that tend to thrive in the warmer weather. While the change in season brings us beautiful days outdoors, it also signals the time to start preparing for these pests. Here are some tips for how to keep your home and yard pest-free as we move closer to spring.

Eliminate Standing Water

Mosquitos love standing water, since that’s where they lay their eggs. It’s essential to regularly check your property for any stagnant water that could become a breeding ground for mosquitos. This includes birdbaths, clogged gutters, old tires, and even children’s toys that are left outside too long. Be proactive and either remove or treat standing water to prevent mosquitos from calling your yard home. If you have ponds or water features, consider adding mosquito dunks, which are safe for the environment, but will kill mosquito larvae.

Keep Your Yard Trimmed

Tall grass and overgrown shrubs are perfect hiding spots for pests like mosquitos, ticks, and spiders. When you keep your yard neatly trimmed and clear out any weeds, you can reduce the number of places that pests might settle. Consider trimming back bushes and trees that overhang your home to eliminate places where mosquitos might rest during the day.

Seal Gaps in Your Home

Warm weather doesn’t only affect the yard. As the temperature rises, pests like ants, cockroaches, and even rodents start to seek shelter inside your home. Check for any gaps or cracks in your windows, doors, or foundation that could allow pests entry. Sealing these gaps will prevent any unwanted guests from invading your living space.

Invest in Outdoor Pest Control

As the weather continues to warm up, pest control becomes increasingly crucial. While DIY solutions can help in short term, a more permanent approach might involve professional pest treatments for your home and yard. Mosquito control services, in particular, can target areas where these pests are most likely to thrive. A professional pest control company will apply treatments that will keep your outdoor spaces pest-free throughout the warmer months.

With spring right around the corner, taking the right precautions can save you from dealing with an infestation down the line. If you need help preparing your home for the re-emergence of mosquitos and other pests, choose Peachtree Pest Control Inc. We’ll help you keep your home and yard pest-free all year long.
