Tips To Keep Mice Out Of Your Richmond, TX Home

Unfortunately, mice are common invaders of Texas homes. To keep mice from being able to find their way into your Richmond home, the professionals at Modern Pest Control want to offer you some easy to execute mouse prevention tips.

Remove clutter, like piles of construction debris, woodpiles, leaf piles, and unnecessary objects from your property that mice would want to hide out and live inside. Bird feeders and other wildlife feeders should also be removed from your property, as both are highly attractive to mice and other rodents. Make sure that all outdoor trashcans have locking lids on them - an open trash container is something that a mouse just cannot pass up. It is also a good idea to trim back any tree branches away from your home; mice will use their branches to gain easy access to the exterior. And finally, it is always a good idea to inspect the exterior of your home, sealing any cracks found in the foundation and exterior walls, repairing holes found along the roofline, and sealing spaces found around air-conditioners and other utilities that enter into your home. 

In addition to our prevention tips, we can help you to keep mice out of your home through our rodent control services, which will provide the inspection, trapping, and exclusion services needed to stop mice in their tiny tracks.

Ant Control: What Richmond Homeowners Need To Know

Ants are the most common nuisance pest that Richmond homeowners face each year. That said, here are the top tips that everyone ought to know:

  • Ants are highly attracted to sweet foods, which makes things like crumbs and spills very dangerous. They will also mistake soap and shampoo for food, so homeowners should be aware of the problems these can cause. 
  • Water is also necessary for ants in order to live, so tending to leaky downspouts, faucets, and faucets is key. 
  • Ants can enter a home through very small openings, so it's important to fill cracks with caulk, as is placing weather stripping around doors and windows. 
  • While most ants do not pose health risks, odorous house ants can infest food with bacteria such as E. coli.

At Modern Pest Control, we appreciate the near-constant threat that ants can pose, which is why we’re focused on making sure that every homeowner who needs ant control has access to it. Our general residential pest control program treats and prevents ant problems with safe and effective methods that we guarantee. For more information on our ant control, contact us today.

Lawn Care Tips For Richmond Property Owners

The lawn is an extension of the home and it’s also the first line of defense between individuals and pests in Richmond. Taking proper care of a lawn is an absolutely essential step in preventing pest problems. Try these tips to maintain a healthy lawn:

  • Mow the lawn regularly, maintaining a short but ideal height.
  • Avoid overwatering grass and plants.
  • Get to know your yard and work to address underlying issues.
  • Work to eliminate weeds.
  • Prevent pest problems that involve wildlife, rodents, and certain grub-searching birds.
  • Become familiar with the pH levels around a property.
  • Patch holes in the ground to prevent wasp nests.
  • Fertilize and tend to grass in the right season.
  • Plant the appropriate grass for a given location.
  • Contact a local lawn care specialist for routine services.

For lawn care that works, turn to Modern Pest Control. We specialize in methods that are specifically designed for Texas lawns, with seasonal and monthly treatments, fertilizer, lawn insecticides, and winterizing treatments. Our QualityPro certified technicians will work day and night to keep local lawns free from grub damage, brown patches, scale, aphids, and more.

What Do Armyworms In Richmond Look Like?

For Richmond residents who have encountered armyworms, they are impossible to forget. While they resemble something close to a caterpillar, the armyworm is actually a member of the moth family. The adults are typically a blend of green, orange, yellow, and brown in coloring with very eclectic patterns, some with bands and stripes along their sides. They also have small gray wings that are not always visible as they’re crawling with their many feet. While these pests are not harmful to the health of individuals, the issues that they pose have more to do with the health of a property itself. While they’re searching for food in the ground, the result is often dying and brown grass.

At Modern Pest Control, we focus on bringing Richmond property owners the highest quality armyworm control available. We start by treating the lawn, which might include fertilizer treatments, organic soil amendments, lawn insecticide applications, and more, depending on what our specific customers' needs are. By working to develop and maintain a healthy, lush yard, we will strive to keep armyworms at bay. To learn more about these services and schedule a no-commitment inspection, contact us today.
