While spiders may not do as much damage as some pests like termites, we do not like seeing them in our homes. Especially when that spider is dangerous, such as brown recluses or black widows, whose bites can cause severe reactions. Spring is the time when most pests like to come out of their winter hiding and invade our homes.  Best Pest Control  wants to help you avoid running across a spider in your home this spring. Here are a few tips to help you keep spiders out of your home. Prevent Spiders In Your Home The best way to prevent spiders from getting into your home is to make sure you don't have an environment that attracts them.

If you have these items on your property, make sure to give them some distance between your home to make it less ...

With Easter behind us, we hope that you had a pleasant visit from the Easter Bunny and enjoyed celebrating the holiday with family and friends. Now, if that fuzzy lovable Easter Bunny brought some uninvited friends with him, you may be noticing some lawn damage that you didn't ask for. While rabbits are adorable and typically good-natured, wild rabbits do have a few bad habits that can cause chaos to your lawn. Take a look at some of the ways rabbits can damage your yard. How Rabbits Can Ruin Your Yard The damage they can create can lead to big problems for yards and even shrubs. They not only chew grass down to the root, but the concentration of urine frequently creates brown and dying areas, making it harder for the grass to recover. When grass is dormant in winter, there is no chance for a recovery – meaning the rabbits’ feeding and excretions can kill areas of the lawn. Once this damage starts it tends to progress because rabbits like to feed in the same areas, and wi...
