Beware Of The Easter Bunny

Easter is this weekend and many families are getting ready for their Easter festivities. From brunches to Easter Egg Hunts, there are many opportunities for pests to ruin your weekend. Lake of the Ozarks' best pest control company wants to make sure your Easter activities go off without a hitch. Here are a few tips to keep in mind while prepping for your Easter weekend.

Count Your Eggs

Before hiding your eggs, make sure you count them all. If the egg seekers in your family don't find them all you can dispatch an adult to find them. Hard boiled eggs that are left in your yard can spoil, which can attract ants and other pests. While plastic eggs won't spoil, it's still best to count them before hiding, as the melted chocolate and other candy that they're filled with can still attract the pests. In addition to counting your eggs, if you're using hard boiled eggs and one of them cracks, make sure to toss it instead of keeping it in the hunt. A cracked egg is more likely to attract bugs compared to those with their shells intact.

Prep Your Yard

Now that you know how many eggs are in play, it's time to start hiding them. However, it's best to do a once over before you start hiding the eggs. During the spring, there are many more bugs out and about, including those that sting. We don't want any injuries while kids are out looking for eggs. Look for anthills, spider webs, wasps nests, still water where mosquitos will be hanging out and piles of leaves. When you come across these, take the proper steps to eradicate them as soon as possible. Have a professional pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks come and spray your yard for pests if needed.

Don't Leave Out Food & Candy

Easter involves a lot of candy and food. From Easter baskets to family brunches, all these activities are bound to make your yard and home a bug magnet. A few precautionary steps will go a long way in keeping the pests under control. If you are enjoying breakfast, lunch, brunch or any other meal at home, make sure any food that is left out is securely covered to avoid pests from enjoying it as well. If kids are enjoying their candy, ensure all wrappers are picked up and thrown away. More importantly, if they drop a piece off candy on the ground it needs to be picked up and thrown away rather than left out for the bugs to feast on. Make it easy for your guests and ensure there is a trashcan outside near the festivities.

Bunny Free Yards

Did the Easter bunny overstay its welcome? Rabbits are herbivores and love to eat through your garden. They will enjoy just about any vegetation, leafy plant, fruit, vegetable, root, bulbs and even bark off of young trees or bushes. They can also dig holes in the yard and under sheds, decks or the home as they construct their burrows. If the rabbit population becomes excessive, it may be time to call the best pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks. We can assess your situation and create a plan to help control the rabbit population and make your yard pest free.
