However, it hasn\u2019t been so dry as to eliminate the local pest population. If you want to make sure your party is completely comfortable for everyone, remove the risk of anyone being bitten by a mosquito or blood-thirsty tick. Here are 3 ways you can help make this happen.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>#1: Keep the Grass Cut Short<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ticks love tall grass. These jumping insects are notorious for spreading Lyme Disease. They often latch onto people and pets who walk through the tall grass. The easiest and most effective way to keep ticks out of your yard is to eliminate their habitat of choice. This means keeping the grass mowed.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>#2: Make Sure Your Property Is Free From Mosquito Breeding Sites<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is one job where you might want to have some help from your <a href=\"\/boston-ma\/\">Norwood lawn care service<\/a>. Mosquitoes breed in specific wet environments. They love standing water. An area as small as the saucer beneath a flowerpot can hold enough water to breed thousands of mosquitoes. Look for low lying areas on your property where water puddles. The area around rain down spouts as well as any fountains or bird baths should be inspected. When mosquito populations are found, they need to be eliminated and steps taken to prevent their return. If you don\u2019t know how to do this, your Norwood lawn service can help.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>#3: Strategic Pest Control Spraying Before Parties, Weddings &amp; Other Outdoor Events<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The best offense is a good defense. Your Norwood lawn care company can come to your home the day before your event. Strategically spraying your property against mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects in advance of your event using people and pet safe products means your event will be safe and fun for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re planning a summer gathering, the dry weather we\u2019ve been having can be helpful.
