Most people think of pest control as only pertaining to inside and immediately around the home. In actuality, there is a huge effort put forth by homeowners and their pest control companies to treat the entire lawn all the way out to the land markers. The reason for this is two-fold. First, you want to keep your law looking beautiful and pests can destroy that. Second, keeping pests out of your lawn automatically means less pests in your home.
Edward, with a pest control company located in Rockledge, Florida said the following: “many people think pest control just consists of walking around homes and spraying the corners. This simply not true. Treating the inside of the home is just part of the story.” He want on to say “laying down granular baits and creating a protective barrier in the lawn is the first line of defense.”
Pests that can damage your lawn are myriad. But here is just a sample of all the pests that can cause havoc on your lawn:
- Cinch bugs
- Sod worms
- Grubs
- Ants
- Beatles
- Army worms
- Snails
- Termites
- Fleas
Some of these will eventually make their way into your home and make life a little harder for you. Fleas are a nasty little invader that can cause bites and even spread disease. Termites will devour the wood in your home and ruin its resale value. Ants get into the walls and foundations and are very hard to fully eradicate. Roaches are a real nuisance and can also spread disease. They are most universally despised as a pest. You can stop them before they get inside.
Here is a larger list of insects which can cause havoc in your home and lawn. You may already have heard that when it comes to health “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, the very same rule applies to pests and pest control. Get ahead of them by getting preventative treatments today.
