Photo Album: Why Trimming Trees and Shrubs are Important for Pest Control
You can go a long way keeping nuisance pests and wildlife out of your home by removing any potential entry points.
This is How You Get Ants!
Shrubs & trees provide prime harborage for many different pests, such as carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are wood-destroying insects that burrow into moist and damaged wood.
Not Maintained
If tree branches aren't properly maintained, then pests can use them to gain access into your home and set up satellite colonies.
The Natural Bridge
Keep trees from your roofline to remove that "natural bridge" for squirrels and raccoons to make their way onto your roof and find an entry point into your attic.
Our Advice
Remove all dead wood from the homes foundation, trim the tree branches, and keep shrubs and trees at least 6 - 8 inches away from your property.
