When you live in Florida, or anywhere with a warm climate, it’s not IF you will be bothered by termites or other pest infestations, it’s when. That’s why it pays to find a pest control company that can manage your lawn care as well as your pest control.
The time to begin controlling the bug-uglies that can make your life miserable is before you even see them and before they invade your home. That’s why it’s so important to begin your pest management with general lawn care. Healthy lawns and shrubs help to keep pests at bay, while deteriorating, weed-infested lawns are an open invitation to more problems.
An inspection of your lawn by an expert lawn care specialist to spot the pests that are just waiting to invade is the first step in eliminating them. Or perhaps those critters have already invaded and you just haven’t spotted them. Your lawn care specialist will be an expert in identifying the various signs of pest invasion, whether indoors or out, and immediately recommend the proper measures to eliminate the problem.
Some of the common things you might find are ant hills in the yard, mud tubes and loose trim courtesy of termites, or the wings and carcasses of dead roaches or carpenter ants. Little piles of sawdust are another sign of carpenter ants. If they aren’t inside yet, they soon will be. Immediate outside treatments of your lawn and around the perimeter of your home will begin the control process. When pest control is combined with lawn fertilizing and weed control, your pest problem can become non-existent.
If your realize your pest problem has already moved inside, you may need both interior and exterior treatments. It makes no sense to merely treat the inside of your home when the problem is coming from the outside. Both interior and exterior treatments work together to eliminate the problem pests and keep them from invading again.
