A healthy and beautiful lawn is one that is free from damage, overgrowth and pests. Complete pest prevention involves more than simply treating your home and lawn with chemical or mechanical solutions to manage pests that may show interest in making your property their home. Even if your home is guarded against pests, certain features in your turf can attract insects and wildlife onto your property; regular turf care services will eliminate these unintentional invitations and improve the efficacy of your other pest prevention services.
Eliminates Sources of Food and Water
One of the main reasons pests move onto your property is abundant food and water. When pests can find the nutrients they need to thrive, they’ll find your property attractive. Various pests enjoy different types of food and water sources, including pools, fountains, puddles, trash cans, pet food dishes and even garden or landscaping plants. Regular lawn care services ensures that pests will find little sustenance on your property by keeping water features clean and addressing issues that lead to standing water in your yard. When yard debris is cleaned promptly and plants are kept trimmed and healthy, they won’t provide the ready food source that pests want.
Eliminates Sources of Shelter
Even if pests cannot find food and water, they may be attracted to your
property because it can provide protection. There are two main characteristics
that could make your property an attractive home for pests: a structure
in which they can create their home, and an area that is not frequently
disturbed offer them an area with peace and security. Regular lawn care
eliminates the availability of space for a nest by removing excess plant
growth and detritus, as well as keeping your yard clean and free from
trash or other debris. Turf care services also ensure that all areas of
your lawn are examined and visited regularly, which will disturb any pests
looking to enjoy peace and quiet. If your turf care service does discover
an area that may attract pests or even a forming colony or nest, they
can notify you or your pest control service professional immediately to
eliminate the problem before it becomes a significant infestation.
Eliminates Damage Caused By Pests
In addition topreventing pest problems in your yard, regular turf care can help your pest control service restore the look and value of your property if an infestation does occur. Pests and diseases can wreak havoc on the look of your yard, leaving your landscaping in poor condition and even increasing your property’s risk of re-infestation. Lawn care services will restore your yard to its previous healthy condition to boost the visual appeal of your property and ensure that damaged or diseased landscaping does not attract pests back once they have been eliminated.
