Bee Prevention Tips You Need Now

There are a number of things you can do to prevent bees from nesting in your yard or around your home. First, remove any potential nesting site. If you have gaps larger than 1/8” in the walls of your home or any outbuilding, be sure you seal them immediately. If you need some gaps, like those in vents or rain spouts, cover them with screens. You may also want to cover the cavities in trees and fence posts, as well as those around your water meter and utility boxes in your home with a screen. The best bee prevention tip?

How to Prevent Flea Infestations

If you have fleas in you home, chances are good the infestation came from a pet. These pests will often attach themselves to animals when they’re outside your home, then they come inside. Fleas depend on blood to survive, and just removing the animal from the home doesn’t always control the problem. Flea infestations take time to resolve, but steps like vacuuming and mowing your lawn often, washing your pet's bed regularly and having your pet treated at the vet for fleas can help.

Introduce Pests Like Ladybugs to Get Rid of WhiteFlies

Naturally, the best way to deal with whiteflies is to prevent them from arriving initially. That begins with a careful check of every new plant you purchase. If you bring any plants home from someone else’s garden or even a nursery, make sure they’re not already infested with whiteflies. You should also do what you can to keep beneficial insects near your plants like ladybugs and spiders. Hummingbirds, are also a natural predator of whiteflies. Using an aluminum reflective mulch on tomatoes and peppers may prove useful too, as it makes it harder for whiteflies to find the plants they want. The best prevention?
