Pests in the yard can sometimes be just as awful as having them in your home. Pests such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and wasps can turn your relaxing outdoor afternoon into a scene from Jumanji, where you're battling one thing after another.

To help you get control of your yard, there are things you can do to help. Read on for some helpful tips.

Keep Your Yard Clean And Landscaping Trimmed

Pests like clutter because they can use it for nesting and for camouflage. Clean up this clutter to prevent luring pests to your yard. This includes rubbish piles, landscaping piles and even compost piles. Your landscape also needs to be kept trim and neat such as mowing your lawn, trimming around trees and other parts of your lawn, clipping back trees and trimming bushes. Overgrown landscaping is a great place for fleas, ticks, rodents, mosquitoes and other pests. 

Empty Standing Water

Standing water is a great place for pests to get a drink or for pests such as mosquitoes to lay their eggs and multiply like crazy. If you have a lot of standing water in your yard, you need to empty it if you can. Low-lying areas should be filled in and graded to help get rid of the standing water. Standing water in pots, play equipment and even swimming pools should be emptied. If you have a pump and filter, these should be used to keep the water circulating. This goes for ponds, fountains and birdbaths as well.

Keep Wild Animals Out

Wild animals are one way for some pests to be brought into your yard. Fleas and ticks can be brought into your yard on wild animals such as raccoons, opossums, deer, stray dogs or cats and other wildlife. Keep these wild animals out of your yard by installing a fence to help keep these pests at bay.

If you have a pest problem in your yard, there are a number of things you can do that may help prevent them from in the first place. If you need help getting rid of these pests so you can have your relaxing backyard back, hire a pest control company for help.
