Controlling insects in your garden this time of year could be an exhausting task. Summertime is known for growing delicious fruits and vegetables, but also a time for insect infestations. Review these tips and advice for keeping insect attacks to a minimum.

Insect populations tend to increase with the warm climate and migration, increasing the pressure on your plants’ potential for damage. Utilize a diversity of plants to create a diversity of plants not allowing a single pest variety to get out of hand. When you identify what bug is causing damage to your garden, eliminating the problem is easier.

Choose vegetables and fruits that are more resistant to insect attacks to reduce the need to spray. Spraying should always be a last resort, and using proper methods to avoid insect infestations could help you avoid using chemicals to protect your garden, therefore inviting beneficial insects such as ladybugs. Using sprays that repel rather than kill bugs can be less harmful to your plants, although they may need to be applied more often.

Rotating crops can reduce the number of harmful insects in your garden. Keep fruits off the ground to avoid critters such as slugs and other bugs from festering on them. If you see any eggs from potential problem bugs, dispose of them to reduce the population and potential problem. Keeping your garden clean and healthy could also reduce insect problems by removing rotting fruits, using mulch to avoid a moist foundation, and trellis your plants vertically.

Make your Orlando or Kissimmee Central Florida home or rental property yard and landscape a safe and friendly haven for all to enjoy. With our Florida climate it is essential to keep a tidy yard. Yards that are unruly lead to all sorts of problems and unwanted guests. Overgrown bushes in particular are welcome homes for bugs, spiders, and even snakes.

We recommend that bushes and trees are trimmed at least every six weeks.

Trim the bushes in particular around the bottom lifting the foliage around 6 inches from the ground, and remove any mowing thatch that collects around the bottom of the bushes to leave a clear view. This will alleviate snakes and other creatures nestling in the area and minimize any unwanted surprises.Always approach with care when trimming overgrown bushes. The pictures above demonstrate how a customer that had moved into a new property needed a yard tidy, and her overgrown bushes were home to a huge black racer snake. He rapidly slithered off to a new abode once the bushes were restored to good order.

Pet owners in particular should take note that pets love to explore areas that are overgrown, and veterinary care is expensive. Florida vacation rental property owners should also take care to protect their guests. There is nothing like a big black snake to send your vacationers packing.

A monthly service plan is a available from Adams Lawn and Landscape to keep your yard in good standing. A tree and bush trimming service is also available as a recurring or one time service.
