With summer right around the bend, one’s mind might turn to some great and fun activities. From picnicking to camping, the next few months are filled with things to do! Unfortunately for some, your vacation plans may become unraveled by pests. From insects around your patio party to bees in the garden to termites gnawing away at your deck, unwelcome visitors can quickly turn a great summer afternoon into a nightmare. If you’re suffering from animal issues like this, you could look into Pest control. There are also plenty of eco-friendly ways to try to reduce these bothers until the professionals can come to your aid.
First, consider using natural repellants such as cedar oil. It’s gentle on your skin and has a great and pleasant scent that, luckily, pests don’t find as pleasing! You could also invest in some citronella oil (we all know about those pest-repellant candles), which helps with mosquito problems. If you want something decorative, you could place a citrosa geranium on your deck or porch to naturally keep pesky bugs at bay. Another idea for bugs could be to get – now don’t be concerned – more bugs. There are, in fact, some great predatory bugs that will help to eliminate the insects you don’t want around your summer barbecue. You can even order eggs online! If you’re having trouble with animals like moles or mice trying to join the pool party, one possibility is to find a solar-powered ground stake repellent, which uses vibrations in the earth to keep the rodents away. Some companies even have these devices for snakes! Trouble with slugs or snails nibbling at your beautiful garden? You’ll be in luck after your latest party if you have a leftover beer lying around. Placing a shallow dish of this drink in the middle of the trouble spot can lure slugs to it and cause them to drown (guess humans aren’t the only ones who like to let loose now and again)!
From these natural tips to professional Columbia pest control, there are many ways to ensure that your summer gets off to the right foot – pest free!
