Using a hoe and shovel (elbow grease) is one of the best natural methods of weed control, though preventing them from popping up in the first place can also be accomplished. Oftentimes, we forget some simple, around-the-house actions we can take to naturally prevent pest and weed infestations, such as:
- relocate wood piles, building materials, etc, away from the side of house
- repair leaking hose bibs, sprinklers, hoses
- trim vegetation away from home (nothing closer than 18” to your home)
- sweep porches & patios
- mow/trim lawn
- haul away dead/unwanted vegetation, fallen fruits/nuts
- remove cobwebs from the underside of awnings, patio covers & beams
- dispose of animal poop as frequently as possible. Dispose of responsibly
- keep garbage and recycling containers sealed at all times
- shake out shoes and clothing used for outdoor projects before bringing inside
- clean up any food scraps following outdoor gatherings
- use the yellow “bug” light bulbs in outdoor light fixtures
- get rid of standing water after any rains (mosquitoes and scorpions); make sure any rainwater drains away from your home and be sure to fix any dripping hose bibs (termites); make sure air-conditioning condensation/drain lines discharge water away from your home (termites)
- caulk or seal areas through which bugs can enter: pipes, door thresholds, base of house that meets the stem wall, around dog doors (all pests)
