Rodents are clever creatures who are experts at surviving. If there is a food source, they will find it. If rodents need shelter from winter winds or sunny summer days, they will discover the coziest or coolest place to enjoy the season. Unfortunately, as rodents make their homes, they end up destroying your backyard in the process. If you want to protect your yard from the several different kinds of rodents that could harm your lawn, hiring a lawn care service that also treats your yard for pests is the way to go.

Moles and gophers

Two pests that you may never actually lay eyes on are moles and gophers. They create tunnels underground in search of grubs and delicious young plant roots to nibble on. Unfortunately, the young roots may belong to your freshly planted tomato plants. Not only can these underground pests destroy plants outright, they can also chop up your yard with their many tunnels and dirt mounds. You won’t have moles and gophers long before you realize that they need to go.

Rats and mice

Though rats and mice are often thought of to infest houses, they can also infest your yard. If you have any caged pets like rabbits or birds, you probably have a family of clever rats waiting to collect food meant for the pet when you aren’t looking. Rats and mice can also live inside thickly laid mulch or piles of fallen leaves. Your outdoor trash can may also be a source of their food if you do not have a lightly latched lid on it. If rats and mice are living in your yard, it is only a matter of time before they turn their attention to your home. Keep these rodents out of your home by cleaning up your yard or calling in a professional to treat your yard and home for rodents.
