While most people focus on the aesthetic appeal of lawn care, there is more to taking care of your lawn than looks alone. Without proper landscape maintenance – including lawn mowing, tree trimming, and more – your property may also become home to something else that you don’t want: pests.
We spoke with Mike of ADAPT Pest, who provides Roseville pest control, to find out why lawn care is not just about the look of your lawn.
“Insects are always looking for places that they can feed, breed, and hide safely,” says Mike. “Long grass, uncut bushes, wet leaves, and other ‘eyesores’ in the landscape world also become essentially safe havens. They provide moisture, they protect insects from predators, they offer more opportunities for food and shade, and more. Not only might you find more insects around your property with poor lawn care, but you can also find other pests like snakes and rats that prefer this type of environment.”
Landscape maintenance is typically seen as a service to make your landscape more attractive, and to allow you to spend more time outdoors. But you also need lawn care to protect your property from pests. If you need landscape maintenance in El Dorado or Sacramento County, contact us today.
