The Impact of Landscaping Choices on Pest Control
Your landscaping choices can directly affect pest control efforts. Here’s how to design a yard that repels rather than attracts pests.
Pest-Resistant Plants
Certain plants can deter specific pests:
- Marigolds: Repel mosquitoes and aphids.
- Catnip: Effective against ants and cockroaches.
Strategic Placement
- Keep Shrubs Trimmed: Overgrown vegetation can create pest-friendly zones.
- Distance Plants from Home: Keep plant beds at least 2 feet away from exterior walls.
Mulching Tips
While mulch helps retain moisture, too much can attract pests. Use gravel or stone instead of organic mulch near foundations.
