By: Lawn Doctor of Boston The solution to infestation is multi-faceted. The best defense against indoor and outdoor pests is to proactively address problem areas on the property through redesign and treatment. Lawn Doctor of Hanover's Tom Norton attests, "the first step to mosquito prevention is removing standing water around your property like old tires, wheelbarrows, and puddle areas." If an infestation is already present more aggressive treatments are available. Once, the pests are eradicated, maintaining a healthy lawn and performing regular treatments will stave off any new invaders. In sports central Massachusetts we know that even on our home court sometimes the best offense is defense. In pest control this wisdom can be applied to your epic rivalry with mosquitoes, ticks, ants, crickets, spiders, and other creepy crawly nuisances that may end up inside your home by taking preventative measures before infestation occurs. Norton notes, "The best defense from indoor infestations is to treat the actual foundation of the house. At Lawn Doctor Hanover we call it Home Pest Barrier." The treatment is effective and easy. It's performed on the outside of the house, no product will be introduced inside the home, and it can be performed while you're at work – or at the beach. Mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests are more than annoying. These pests can harbor disease and pose a health risk to people and pets. Preventing this threat in your backyard can be achieved through prevention and maintenance. As mentioned previously, locating stagnant water sources is one of the most effective ways to deter the infestation of mosquitoes. Landscaping should have proper drainage to prevent puddling as well. In addition, maintaining healthy lawn, trees, and shrubs is essential to outdoor pest prevention. Norton recommends, "Regular maintenance including inspection, disease treatment, insect treatment, fertilization and application of micronutrients will promote overall health and prevent mosquitoes and ticks." These tasks can be performed by the homeowner or by a service like Lawn Doctor of Hanover.
