A Few Smart Landscaping Ideas to Protect Against Bug Attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your lush landscape and fragrant plants\u00a0attract a lot of bugs, especially during the summer. Some of them, however, can become pretty annoying. How can you combat summertime pests? Here are a few useful landscaping<\/a> tips.<\/p>\n

Flies and mosquitoes are among the worst. The first tends to contaminate your food, the other feeds on your blood. But look at the grass in your garden. Ants, especially fire ants, can be a huge problem for any property. You don\u2019t need that kind of tenant on your property.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for natural insect repellent, you could consider planting rosemary, lavender, mint, or basil in your yard. This will also be a smart way to rejuvenate and add color to your landscape. All of the plants from this list smell wonderful to us, but most flying insects can’t bear their scent. You should also think about speaking with a landscaper about attracting specific spiders into your garden. Spiders are wonderful creatures that eat all sorts of insects. Some of them catch their prey with webs, while others hunt them. Certain plants can attract spiders and offer them a safe place to live.<\/p>\n

But one of the best ways to keep bothersome bugs out of your yard is to make sure you aren\u2019t unknowingly attracting them. That means regular and proper yard maintenance. Do not leave your yard cluttered with leaves and other debris. Who knows what\u2019s lurking beneath that decomposing foliage in the autumn? So, preventative maintenance, yard cleanups, and professional landscaping<\/a> have always been the key to success. Another point is not to allow standing water in your yard. Anything that catches rainwater \u2014 a wheelbarrow, a bucket, clogged gutters \u2014 is a potential mosquito breeding ground.<\/p>\n
