Mosquitoes are coming….The beginning of the wave is here. How do we know? Nolan’s fat little kids are like magnets.
Simple things to minimize mosquitoes…
– Gutters – The leaves and pollen have fallen and your gutters may be clogged – a mosquito paradise.
– Toys – Toys from kids or dogs often catch water. And where there is stagnant water, there are mosquitoes.
– Leaves – When there are a bunch of dead leaves in a yard – lawn or beds – they allow insects to thrive.
– Beds and Shrubs – All sorts of over grown plants, shrubs, and turf can encourage pests.
– A nice flagstone patio – This won’t help with mosquitoes but we can install it!
– If your yard has poor drainage, then a simple drain may be in order.
Obviously, we can help with most of these if you prefer to not do them yourself.
