Pest Problem – Standing Water In Your Yard
Standing water in your yard can cause potential pest problems. Mosquitoes for example can breed and become a big problem with standing water. These types of pest problems can be prevented if you make sure to rid your yard of standing water.
There are many sources in the yard for standing water.
-Uneven soil on the ground or low spots in the yard
-Children’s toys left in the yard that can collect water.
-Gardening equipment like pots that may collect water
-Gutters working improperly or lack of gutters running off the roof creating standing water near the home
-Pools that aren’t properly treated with chemicals
It’s important to get rid of this standing water as best as possible.
Clean out the gutters especially because this water run off is making the foundation soil around the home moist. This can be a problem because ants, termites, and other pests love to live in or near the moist soil. Since it’s so close to the home it give them easy access to start causing problems in the walls of the home.
If you purposely have standing water like in a rain barrel for your garden and plants, be sure to get the covers that help keep mosquitoes out of the water so they can’t lay eggs in it.
This might seem like a bit of work, but it’s must easier to prevent these pest problems than it is to get rid of the pest once there is an infestation.
