Since the winter has been so mild, experts are forecasting the bug season to start earlier than usual this year. Mosquitoes, ticks, spiders and other creepy crawlies will be in larger numbers this year and they will be trying to get into your house! One thing that the report talks about is how a well maintained lawn can decrease the number of bugs in your home.
Bugs like well kept lawns, so they are more likely to hang out in your grass then in your house if you keep your lawn mowed and take care of all those sunken areas where water can pool. I found this very interesting because I would have thought that an area of tall grass and untamed bushes would be a more inviting place for insects, but I suppose keeping the lawn well maintained keeps you stepping ON the bugs and not walking through, helping them hitch a ride on your pant leg!
