Residential Pest Control In Highland, UT

There are conditions that can inspire pest problems. Some are easy to correct. Some are not so easy to correct.

• A stinky trash receptacle can attract pests from a distance. When you deodorize your receptacles periodically, you make them less of an attractant.
• Bird seed scattered on the ground will provide a meal for a wide range of creatures, including mice and rats. If you move bird feeders away from the exterior of your home, you avoid telling these pests that your home is where food is found.
• When you pick up a stack of cardboard, dead branches, and other sources of wood and place them on something termites can chew through, you keep termites from ringing the dinner bell. You may not know this but worker termites recruit other termites when they find food.
• A gap in your weatherstripping or a missing door sweep is an invitation to have pests slip right into your home. Make sure all exterior doors are sealed. You don't want those pests getting the wrong message.

Tips To Avoid Mosquito Dangers In Highland, UT

There are a few ways you can avoid mosquito bites. We'll be upfront with you, they don't work all that great. Female mosquitoes are highly motivated to bite you. These tips may not stop them:

• Put mosquito repellent on your skin or clothing. Use a product that has DEET.
• Use natural repellent if you don't want to use products with chemicals. Oil of lemon eucalyptus works well.
• You may use natural scents, such as lavender. If you do, you need to apply these natural products frequently to maintain protection.

While repellents have some effect, the best way to avoid mosquito bites is to not have mosquitoes around. Makes sense, right? But how do you do this? Aren't mosquitoes everywhere? The reality is that they aren't. It only seems like they are.

When you go outside and mosquitoes immediately start to buzz around you, it is because those mosquitoes live on your property. They don't fly around all day long looking for someone to bite, and with their poor eyesight, they couldn't target you from your neighbor's yard even if they wanted to.

Routine mosquito control treatments provided by a licensed pest management professional is the best way to arrest mosquito activity in your yard and guard against mosquito-borne viruses.
