Spring has officially sprung in The Natural State, and it’s time to start enjoying warmer temperatures and longer days. Whether you enjoy fishing, golf, or simply relaxing outside and watching your kids play, you can also expect to encounter increased activity from mosquitoes and other flying insects. But they’re no match for our team of pest control experts at The Bug Man! We offer professional mosquito treatment services in Little Rock annually from April through October, and we’re ready to help you keep your home and yard pest-free!

We’ve been offering trusted pest control in Little Rock for over 49 years, and we also serve customers in the central Arkansas communities of Benton, Cabot, Conway, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, and Searcy! Our monthly mosquito treatment services start at $90 for an average-sized yard, and we also offer single-visit treatments if you’re preparing for an outdoor wedding or a church picnic. When it comes to mosquitoes and other insects, the best defense is a good offense. Here are three easy tips to help you pest-proof your yard this summer:

Clean up your yard-Many homeowners enjoy the time off from yardwork over the winter, but now it’s time to get back on the clock! You’ll need to mow your lawn at least every few weeks this summer and properly prune any hedges or shrubs that come into direct contact with your home. And there’s no shame in calling a professional tree service if you have large tree limbs hanging over or in direct contact with your roof!

Eliminate insect habitats and breeding grounds-Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, so keep your rain gutters and downspouts clear from leaves and other debris and cover your outdoor rain barrels. If you have any areas where rainwater accumulates after heavy rainfall, add a few bags of pea gravel and sprinkle with leftover coffee grounds.

Use low-tech solutions-A screened-in porch is always a nice thing to have in Arkansas, and you can choose from a wide variety of temporary canopies at any retailer that sells outdoor goods. And an outdoor fan is an excellent way to keep your guests cool and the mosquitoes away!
