This week, the best pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks is finishing the list. Check out the rest of our tips below and don’t forget to schedule your preventative pest control appointment with Best Pest Control.


Get Rid of Standing Water


The first and one of the best steps to controlling mosquitoes is to remove any standing water in or around your yard. No matter how big or how small, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Even if it doesn’t rain, you might still have standing water in your yard. It can be easy to miss, so it’s important to regularly walk around your property and check for it. Check for leaks near your AC unit, look in rain spouts, and pick up your pet's water. Mosquitoes are one thing you don’t want flying around your house this summer.

Keep Your Trash Covered


It’s important to not throw certain food items out too soon unless your trash is properly stored or it will be picked up within 48 hours. One thing you don’t want to throw out too soon is meat scraps. The combination of the hot summer sun and the smell of rotting meat will more than likely bring unwanted pests to your yard and then to your house. Rotting meat will attract everything from annoying insects to wild creatures. You’ll want to make sure you dispose of it properly.


Store Firewood Properly


It may be almost summer, but people tend to store firewood all year long. If you do, you’ll want to make sure you aren’t inviting termites into your home. When storing firewood, you’ll want to make sure that it’s stored far away from your home. The minimum distance is 5 feet away, however, the further the better. You will also want to make sure it is stored off of the ground. This will help keep insects and other critters from making your firewood pile into their new home.

Happy Rat Catcher's Day!  Believe it or not, this really is a holiday, and it is one that definitely got the attention of the best pest control company of the Lake of the Ozarks .  Rat Catcher's Day is intended to commemorate the famous myth of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.  Like many fairy tales, this was based on real events, but of course over time and re-telling, took on a life of its own.   The actual date depends on whether you follow the Grimm Brothers story putting it on July 26 or the poem by Robert Browning placing in on July 22.  Basically, there was a rat infestation and the townspeople of Hamelin, Germany hired the Pied Piper to get rid of the mice with his magic, musical flute.  He did, but the town wouldn't pay him, so he lured away the children as a punishment for the town. Best Pest Control has much better techniques than the old piper in the tale.  (And we would never lure away your children.  Did you ever notice...
