What’s the Earliest I Should Treat My Yards for Pests?
Posted by Mosquito SquadNovember 4, 2024
That’s a great question! Treating early is key to keeping pests better controlled.
Is there such a thing as too early when it comes to outdoor pest control? Well, that all depends. For instance, you would not want to have barrier protection treatments in the winter, when pests are typically out of reach. But did you know that it is recommended we treat our yards for springtime Tennessee pests in autumn? Let’s break it down!
Nashville Pest Control: Treating Springtime Pests This Autumn
The earliest you should treat the potential emergence of springtime pests is the preceding autumn and winter. As mentioned above, barrier yard treatments when pests are tucked away in their overwintering places would be futile. However, a final fall barrier treatment spray followed by an application of pest control granules is your first step in controlling the number of pests that emerge on your property next spring. The second step is treating once more with pest control granules in late winter.
Why Treat Your Yard for Pests So Early?
If there’s one thing we know at Mosquito Squad of Nashville, is that springtime pest emergence is bountiful. Mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, spiders, fleas – you name it, it’s on the move! And when it begins, Nashville area home and business owners feel overwhelmed with the great number of pests they begin to encounter. What they might not understand is that they are encountering droves of pests because their home and surrounding property have been the chosen overwintering spots for them.
The key is to take a preemptive strike when pests are making their autumn sojourn toward your home or wherever on your property they will be overwintering. The final autumn barrier treatment will treat pests on contact and continue working for about 21 days. But the accompanying pest control granules will remain effective for the next 90 days. Then, by applying granular pest control again in the late winter sets up defenses against early springtime emergence of any remaining ground dwellers or travelers.
