The longer, warmer days of spring and early summer in the midwest mean one thing: it’s time to enjoy your backyard! Barbecues, get togethers, relaxing evenings on the patio, kids playing in the grass, and pets lounging in the sun, these are the moments we all look forward to. But all too often, that joy is cut short by the irritating buzz of mosquitoes, the itchy bites of chiggers, or the silent threat of fleas and ticks.

It’s frustrating when you just want to relax, but instead you’re swatting, scratching, and worrying about unwanted guests.
Why are mosquitoes (and other yard pests) so active right now? As temperatures consistently rise above 50°F, mosquitoes emerge from their winter dormancy or hatch from eggs that were laid last year. The increased rainfall we often see in spring creates abundant standing water, for instance, even a bottle cap full of water can be a breeding ground! This warm, moist environment accelerates their life cycle, allowing them to multiply rapidly and quickly turn your backyard into a bustling hub of pest activity. Other yard pests like chiggers, fleas, and ticks also become much more active, seeking hosts in your lawn and shrubs.
These persistent pests thrive in our warm weather, lurking in your lawn, shrubs, and shaded areas, ready to turn your outdoor oasis into a no-go zone for your family and guests.
While our professional treatments significantly reduce pest populations, there are simple steps you can take around your home to make your property even less inviting to mosquitoes and other yard pests:
Simple Mosquito & Yard Pest Prevention Tips:
- Eliminate Standing Water: Regularly empty anything that can hold water – bird baths, pet bowls, old tires, buckets, planters, and even clogged gutters.
- Maintain Your Landscape: Keep your grass mowed to its recommended height and trim overgrown bushes and shrubs, as these provide shady resting spots for pests.
- Properly Store or Dispose: Ensure old tires, discarded containers, and anything else that can collect rain are stored away or removed from your property.
By consistently practicing these simple prevention methods, you’ll work in tandem with our treatments to create an even more effective barrier against unwanted pests, helping you enjoy a truly pest-free outdoor space.
