Leaving Food Scraps Outside
Leaving loose bin bags in the garden can attract
mice, rats and foxes into your yard. Leftover
sugary food scraps from outdoor soirees can also
serve as an invitation for bees and wasps to
gather, so be diligent and keep your yard free
from garbage.

Using Strong Pesticides
Investing in strong pesticides might seem like a
good idea at the time, but not all bugs are pests
and killing anything and everything is not an
effective solution. Exterminating certain bugs
and insects can actually have a negative impact
on the growth of your garden.

Leaving Piles of Wood in the Backyard
If you have a wood burning fireplace or fire pit,
make sure you store your wood carefully in a
sturdy, weatherproof shed. Leaving piles of wood
in your yard creates a breeding ground for
termites and they wont stop there either.

Ignoring Leaky Taps
Leaky taps that remain unfixed create moist, damp
environments - the ideal breeding ground for
termites and other pests. Make sure you attend to
leaky taps, pipes and hoses immediately to avoid
the issue from escalating and to avoid a
potential pest party.
