How to Keep Mosquitoes & Ticks Out of Your Lawn

Your lawn and property are extensions of your home. You paid for them; you may as well be able to use them. Unfortunately, fleas and ticks exist on local properties all over Augusta. 

These pests love our area and have a nasty habit of biting locals. Mosquitoes take quick draws of blood, while ticks will feed over the course of 36 hours. Despite their differences in their approach to feeding, both these pests pose similar problems due to their bites. These problems mostly include the chance of transmitting diseases. 

To keep these pests off your property, you have two options. The first option is to eliminate sources of moisture buildup around your yard and keep up with trimming your grass and landscaping. These types of DIY prevention methods are helpful but will not provide guaranteed protection. 

To really avoid fleas and ticks, you will want help from our professionals at American Pest Control. We deeply understand these yard pests and offer great seasonal and year-round options to combat these local species. 

Types of Ants Found Around Augusta

Around Augusta, you can find several common ant species. They often have different characteristics, making them relatively easy to identify. 

Here are some of the most likely species to invade your home:

• Argentine ants: Prevalent in the region, this species is usually tiny and dark brown. They form extensive colonies and have a sweet tooth. They often invade our homes looking for food.
• Odorous house ants: They emit a distinctive smell when crushed. Some say it resembles the scent of rotten coconut. These ants are brown to black. You can often find them indoors, foraging for sugary foods or water sources.
• Little black ants: These tiny, black ants form expansive colonies outdoors and indoors. They are opportunistic feeders. They can be a nuisance when they invade your home, and you need swift ant pest control services to eliminate them.
• Acrobat ants: You can recognize them by their heart-shaped abdomen. They prefer nesting in decaying wood outside but can also venture indoors to feed on sweets and proteins.
• Fire ants: These aggressive reddish-brown ants inflict painful stings that can turn into itchy welts. They build easy-to-spot large mounds outdoors.

These ant species exhibit diverse behaviors, but regardless of the type in your home, they can become disruptive and challenging pests to eradicate.

Some management strategies typically involve reducing food sources, sealing entry points, and fixing moisture issues to deter them. If your ant infestation worsens, American Pest Control can help manage their populations effectively. Call us today to get started.
