3 Reasons Pest Control Should Begin Outside Your Home

There’s no reason to ever have to deal with indoor pest infestations – if you start with outdoor pest control.

When most people think about pest control, they picture mouse traps in the garage, roach motels in the kitchen, or noxious wasp sprays stored under the sink. But the real battle against bugs doesn’t start inside your home. It begins outside. In a warm, dry climate like El Paso, your yard isn’t a pest buffer zone – it’s ground zero.

Here are three great reasons your El Paso pest control should originate outside your home.

Bugs Don’t Come from Inside Your Home

Why wait till pests get inside your house to get rid of them? From mosquitoes to aphids, ticks to fire ants, most pests begin their lives outside your home. Overgrown shrubbery and vegetation, standing water, woodpiles or yard detritus, and even your outdoor furniture can become ideal breeding and hiding spots.

By treating the perimeter of your property and targeting areas where pests live and breed in your yard, Mosquito Squad of El Paso can dramatically reduce the number of pests that ever get close to your walls, much less inside them!

Interrupt Pests’ Breeding Cycle Before It Begins

Indoor pest control has its purpose. After all, if you have bugs inside, they should be gotten rid of. But a lot of times, treating pests indoors is like a mad game of whack-a-mole. You get rid of one roach, but eggs are hatching inside your walls at the same time. Our El Paso outdoor pest control plans are formulated and tailored to disrupt bugs’ life cycles by targeting them at their source. Where they breed, hatch, and grow!

For example, our barrier treatments don’t just repel adult mosquitoes, they knock them down on contact, eliminate larvae, and reduce future populations around your yard. This equates to fewer mosquitoes now – and fewer mosquitoes later. And continued treatments keeps breeding interruption in force!

Be More Comfortable Inside Your Home with Fewer Pests Outside

Anyone that has worked with Mosquito Squad of El Paso can tell you that knowing they can walk outdoors at any time without encountering hordes of unsightly and annoying pests is a comfort unmatched. Well, except for the fact that there are no pests inside, that is.

And honestly, who wants to sit out on the patio swatting mosquitoes and worrying about ticks hitching a ride inside on our dog? No one. When you call Mosquito Squad of outdoor pest control, this ensures your lawn, garden, and even your pool area are all more enjoyable for you, your family, guests, and yep – your pets!
