Best Pest Control

Spring is just around the corner, so while you're thinking about your spring cleaning checklist, it's also time to start thinking about getting your lawn ready for the season. Winter weather can be tough on your lawn. Grass, shrubs and trees are weak after months of lying dormant. If you want your lawn and trees to come back fuller and lusher than before,  Best Pest Control  can help. Here are a few simple tips to help get your lawn ready for the summer months. 1. Remove Accumulated Debris The first step in getting your lawn ready for spring is to do some cleaning. Clear away any leaves, twigs and other debris that have gathered over the winter months. Not only can the debris get stuck in your lawn mower, it can also block fertilizers and other materials from being properly absorbed by the lawn. Plus, it can create a breeding ground for pests. 2.

Since  Valentine's Day is a day all about showing the love,  Best Pest Control  is featuring a few bugs that we love and you should too! I f you see any of the bugs we mention below, show them some love and catch and release them into your yard or garden. Praying Mantis Praying mantis are great predators and eat moths, grasshoppers, flies and other insects. Their heads can rotate up to 180 degrees depending on the species. This head rotation allows them to remain very still while hunting. When an unsuspecting insect ventures near them, they will quickly strikeout. While they are a great natural pest control for gardens, they will also prey on beneficial bugs. Bees Honey bees and bumblebees are loved for their ability to pollinate. Many vegetables and fruit trees need to be pollinated by bees in order to pr...
