Massachusetts pest control tips
With a week of warmer weather on our horizon, now is a good time to offer some Massachusetts pest control springtime tips. When our region experiences warmer temperatures, especially following periods of rain, we have conditions that are ideal for pest pressure. So here are your top 3 springtime Massachusetts pest control tips, offered by Burgess Pest Management. 
- Clean up your outdoor winter debris! The leaves, dead grass, and debris that accumulates all winter will create ideal pest conditions if you don't remove it. Ticks in Massachusetts, as well as ants, spiders, and other pests will move over and under this material.
- The rain we may experience this spring will possibly pool in certain areas of your yard. While it may not turn into a swamp, there will be persistent areas of dampness. Pay attention to these areas and, when it dries, do what you can to improve the area. Pest management is all about removing the conditions that are conducive to pest pressure. Insects, including mosquitoes, need moisture to thrive.
- Be proactive. If you normally have plants and shrubs that overgrow near your foundation, try to address this now. Many insects will climb up your plants and move directly onto your house. Maintaining an 18-inch weed-free zone around your foundation is helpful.
