A well-maintained landscape not only enhances the beauty of your property but also adds to your pride. However, dealing with bugs, insects, and other pests can be a persistent challenge. Fortunately, effective landscaping strategies can help keep these unwanted visitors at bay.
Plant Insect-Repelling Varieties
Incorporating plants that naturally deter pests can be a great solution. Certain plants, such as lavender, petunias, marigolds, and chrysanthemums, are both attractive and effective at repelling insects. Additionally, being mindful of avoiding plants that attract pests can significantly reduce your pest issues.
Keep Vegetation Trimmed
Regularly trimming plants and shrubs does more than enhance your landscape’s appearance; it also reduces the habitats available for pests. Overgrown vegetation provides food and shelter for bugs, so maintaining a neat landscape can help keep them at bay and promote healthier plants.
Mow Your Lawn Frequently
Tall grass is a perfect hiding and breeding ground for insects. By keeping your lawn mowed regularly, you force pests to find other places to settle. This practice not only deters pests but also ensures your yard looks well-kept and attractive.
