Protecting Your Patio from Pests

Creating a comfortable and enjoyable outdoor environment means keeping your patio pest-free.

How to keep unwanted critters away from your patio:

1. Remove standing water in flower pots and buckets as it attracts pests like mosquitoes.
2. Keep your patio free of debris like leaves and crumbs. Keep garbage away from the patio and keep the lids closed tightly.
3. Trim back leaves, bushes, and plants close to your patio, as they can provide harborage for pests and act as a bridge to your home.
4. Plant pest-repellant herbs and flowers like citronella, lavender, mint, and marigolds to repel mosquitoes, flies, and other pests.
5. For uncontrollable pest problems, contact a pest control company like Abell to assess the situation, provide targeted treatments, and offer long-term prevention strategies.
