Over 15” of rain in July alone has meant an explosion in the tick and mosquito population! Please be sure to turn over empty buckets, wheelbarrows, and the like in your yard to cut down on areas for water to collect and create mosquito breeding grounds. Empty and clean birdbaths frequently, too, then refill for the birds. It’s surprising how quickly they can drain them during hot weather.
And remember to check yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks after outdoor activities.
Our Tick and Mosquito spray program continues every other week through November. We utilize essential oils that control these tick and mosquito populations as a management program. Contact Reese for a site survey and more information, <reese@pumpkinbrookorganicgardening.com>
