Why? Yards with trees, shrubs, and gardens provide shelter for spiders and ants. Standing water in birdbaths, clogged gutters, and overwatered lawns attract mosquitoes. Outdoor lighting draws insects, which in turn attract spiders.
Why? Sprinkler systems and water hazards contribute to mosquito breeding. Manicured lawns and gardens attract ants looking for food sources. Floodlights and evening games draw insects, attracting spiders.
Why? Dense vegetation and wooded areas create ideal habitats for spiders and ants. Bodies of water, creeks, and ponds provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Fallen logs, leaf litter, and tall grass offer hiding spots for various pests.
Insects like spiders and ants aren’t just a nuisance—they’re looking to make your home their home.
