📅 Seasonal Checklist to Protect Your Home Year-Round

🌱 Spring

Rake leaf litter along fence lines and wooded edges.
Refresh mulch; add a gravel/wood-chip barrier between lawn and woods.
Repair window screens and door sweeps before bug season peaks.

☀️ Summer

Change water in birdbaths and plant saucers every 2–3 days.
Run outdoor fans on patios to disrupt mosquito flight.
Wear light-colored long sleeves/pants at dawn/dusk; do tick checks after yard time.

🍁 Fall

Bag leaves; compost away from play areas and pet zones.
Trim overgrown shrubs; store firewood off the ground and away from the house.
Clean gutters to prevent standing water during warm spells.

❄️ Winter

Drain and store outdoor containers; invert buckets and toys.
Fix grading and drainage so meltwater doesn’t pool near foundations.
Plan next season’s eco-friendly yard maintenance and barrier treatments.

– Mosquitos are Coming is what my technician just called to tell me – thanks for the reminder. I renewed my annual contract because once you’ve gotten rid of mosquitos you can’t go back!

– I was looking for a Non-Toxic/Natural way to handle the mosquitos and ticks problem as my children and pets are always in the garden, so my friend recommended me to this company, they shared a lot of information and insight and the process was easy to follow.
