Lawn Tips for the Winter

Your lawn goes dormant in the winter even though we don't get snow. But dormant doesn’t always mean healthy. Winter can be a very damaging time for lawns. Luckily, there are steps you can take to make sure your lawn is ready for the winter so that when spring comes around, you have little to do to bring your lawn back to its former glory.

Aerate – Aerating your lawn is a great way to make your lawn ready for spring. Aeration involves poking holes into the soil to allow the roots to grow deeper, so that they have an easier time receiving nutrients. You can also combine this with overseeding, which builds a thick lawyer of grass that prevents weeds from entering your lawn.

Fertilize – Your soil is not perfect. It needs extra nutrients that fertilizer provides. This is especially true in winter. For our northern counties and those who might receive frost during the wintertime, the fertilizer works under that layer of frost and feeds your grass and its roots throughout the cold months. Then in springtime, your grass is not severely lacking in nutrients, because it was fed all winter with a slow release fertilizer.

Mow – You will also want to mow your lawn to a fairly short height as long as it is still growing. Doing this discourages small animals from using your lawn to burrow and create homes for the winter.

Mice...Not THAT Cute & Fuzzy

Cute, fuzzy, three to four inches in length and weighing roughly an ounce, mice don’t necessarily look threatening. Nevertheless, don’t underestimate the negative impact these unwanted critters can have on you and your family.

Florida’s dry, warm conditions are forcing pests, including rodents, to do more “window shopping” especially now that we are in the fall season, seeking alternate water and food sources inside structures. While mice do not require as much water as their rat cousins, they still have the need to feed, and your home is a prime target.

Mice that seek food aggressively not only can spoil it with their droppings and urine, but can transmit dangerous bacteria, including salmonella, by crawling on countertops and food preparation areas, and can contaminate food by chewing through packaging.

In addition to spoiling food, mice also pose a significant threat to the structural integrity of your home. They can destroy insulation in attics and can chew through wallboards, cardboard, wood, and electrical or computer wiring. In fact, rodents cause up to 25 percent of house fires in the U.S. every year.

Good sanitation practices are one key to keeping mice out of your home successfully. Keep counters clean, eliminate clutter, and make sure to collect and empty garbage, trash, and garden debris frequently. Also, be sure that all garbage receptacles have tight-fitting covers – indoors and out.

But the first and most important step to make sure your home remains rodent-free is by preventing them from gaining access in the first place. Mice (and most pests for that matter) are opportunists that spend most of their life looking for a way inside a structure in search of food, water, and shelter.

Winter Home Pest-proofing

As days get shorter and temperatures drop, the time you spend indoors begins to increase. Pests want to come indoors, too. Extreme Pest Management reminds homeowners that rodents, cockroaches and spiders may try to find their way inside to escape the winter weather (even if it's not cold).

Besides simply being a nuisance and annoyance, these invading pests can also pose serious risks — rodents spread diseases such as Salmonella and E. coli, contaminate food, and damage drywall and electrical wires throughout a home. Cockroaches trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children. Some spiders may bite if their hiding spots are discovered.

Protecting your home from a visit by unwanted pests starts with a good dose of prevention – regardless of the season. One of the best ways to get your homes ready for winter is to conduct a simple check of potential pest routes inside and then perform any necessary maintenance.

Being proactive when it comes to pest-proofing your home this fall is an important step homeowners can take in preventing pests from coming indoors.

How do you keep pests out of your family’s living space? Extreme Pest Management and the team of residential pest management experts service thousands of homes each month, and have collected a thick file folder (or notes on the iPad) of helpful, easy-to-follow tips you can follow to keep pests on the outside looking in.

Extreme Pest Management's list of Eight Helpful Winter Home Pest-proofing Tips include:

-Check attic vents and openings to chimneys
-Eliminate moisture sites, including leaking pipes and clogged drains, and repair broken irrigation
systems
-Seal cracks and crevices on the outside of the home using caulk and steel wool – pay close attention where utility pipes enter the structure
-Store food in airtight containers and regularly dispose of garbage in sealed receptacles
-Replace loose mortar and weatherstripping around the basement foundation and windows
-Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house; keep shrubbery well trimmed
-Install door sweeps and repair damaged screens
-Inspect items such as boxes of decorations and grocery bags before bringing them indoors

Have Extreme Pest Management eliminate those spiders

You probably know that spiders prey on insects. Most homes have a resident spider population that help reduce other pests from entering and taking over your home. Often, spiders will live outside the home, especially in a garden, where they play an important beneficial role. The spiders living in your home tend to stay in hidden places such as attics and basements, and under or behind the furniture. Sometimes, though, you'll find these spiders venture out during the day. In most cases, the best idea is to simply let the spider be, capture and release it outside the home, or kill it.

If you have begun to see spiders on a semi-regular basis, have an insurmountable fear of spiders, identify the spiders as poisonous, or have an allergy to spiders, you may have more than just spiders in your home—you may have a spider problem.
