How To Keep Bugs From Ruining Your Outdoor Events This Summer

By: Impeccable Landscapes       April 7, 2017

Here on the Impeccable Landscapes blog, we talk a lot about lawn care. We talk about lawn care mistakes that many people make when they choose to take care of maintenance on their own. We also often right about the importance of having a regular lawn care routine–tasks that you take care of on a weekly, monthly, or seasonal basis so that you can expect the same performance out of your lawn year after year.

What we don’t talk about as much is WHY these lawn care tasks are so important. After all, you can’t eat grass so why worry so much about hiring someone to fertilize and trim it?

The reason why we’re so passionate about lawn care in Liberty Lake, Spokane, and the Spokane Valley is that it’s hard to have fun in a crappy backyard. There, we said it.

Like us, you work hard all year long to be able to pay your mortgage, keep the lights on, and occasionally, take a day or two off to concentrate on the places and people you love. There’s nothing worse that making it to a long, holiday weekend in the summer only to realize that your grass is brown and dry like the Sahara Desert. No one wants to come have a barbecue in a dead or dying backyard with no shade trees or flowers to make things feel nice.

One of the most common reasons that people fail to make use of their outdoor living spaces in the summer time is because of bugs. No one wants to be dodging wasps, bees, gnats, or mosquitoes when they’re trying to grill up some brats.

Top Tips For Reducing Bugs In Your Yard

  1. Eliminate Breeding Areas – The best way to keep bugs from ruining your outdoor events is to prevent them from setting up shop there in the first place. Many bugs, like mosquitoes, need only the tiniest bit of standing water in order to reproduce. Take a look around your yard and eliminate or repair any structure or drainage element that may hold rainwater for more than a day or two.
  2. Trim Your Grass – You should be doing this anyway because it keeps your grass healthy, but many people in Liberty Lake are surprised to learn that lawn trimming actually discourages insect infestations as well! Aim to keep grass three inches high at all times.
  3. Maintain Your Lawn – Bugs thrive in unhealthy lawns, so the best way to avoid pest problems is to keep up with lawn care maintenance. Remember, if you’re too busy to take care of it yourself, Impeccable Landscapes is always available to provide scheduled service!
