Pests like raccoons, ticks, and other insects love nothing more than tall, knotted grass to hide out in. By hiring a professional for regular lawn maintenance, you can minimize the risk of coming face-to-face with a dangerous, destructive pest on your property. 

Short Grass Means No Hiding Spots

A short, well-manicured lawn eliminates good hiding places close to your home. While insects will still be able to maneuver pretty well unseen, there will be less overall space for them. Larger pests like raccoons, mice, and rats will have a far more challenging time staying undercover. 

By cutting your lawn consistently, you’ll prevent these types of dangerous, disease-carrying pests from gaining easy access to your house and property. 

Presence of Heavy Tools

If you’ve ever stumbled upon a rodent or small animal in the wild, you have probably noticed that they scare quite easily. While the goal isn’t to hurt these animals, the presence of professional lawn maintenance tools such as lawnmowers can scare them away from your property.

Schedule routine lawn maintenance to continually evict invasive pests from your yard. Between the mowers and the professional team members invading the space, pests won’t be able to settle in and do any real damage to your property. 

No Tall Weeds

Small bugs such as ticks have a hard time getting places on their own, so tall weeds create a perfect path for them. Bugs, like ticks, will often leap from tall weeds to hosts like deer, cats, or even humans. You may notice that if your grass is tall enough to rub your pet’s belly, you will begin finding more pests on your pet. Without these tall weeds, it becomes harder for bugs to reach their hosts.
